Fishing Nordre Økteren: what the data says
318-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 27 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Nordre Økteren runs 317 acres with 5.8 miles of edge. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 93% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
