Fishing Pardisfjorden: what the data says
840-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 89 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, Pardisfjorden runs 838 acres with 14.1 miles of edge. A development index of 3.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. About 60% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
