Fishing Rødenessjøen: what the data says
3,991-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 165 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Rødenessjøen runs 3,980 acres with 41.8 miles of edge. A development index of 4.7 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 14% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.
