Fishing North Lake: what the data says
88-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 54 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, North Lake runs 88 acres with 1.7 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 13% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
