Fishing Rødbyvannet: what the data says
289-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 43 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Rødbyvannet maps at 288 acres behind 4.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 63% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
