Fishing Nesttunvatnet: what the data says
34-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Nesttunvatnet runs 34 acres with 2.1 miles of edge. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.6) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. 78% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.
