10,724-acre lake near Huizen. The lake tops out around 95 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 10,682 acres wrapped in 49.6 miles of bank. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.4) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 57% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 14.3 mi with a 6.3-mi widest point. Noorderwetering sits 3 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
