Fishing Östra Mjögsjön: what the data says
100-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 69 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 100 acres wrapped in 2.7 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 17% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
