Fishing Övre Boksjön: what the data says
2,673-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 220 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 2,667 acres wrapped in 15.7 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 2.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. About 12% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
