Fishing Rössjön: what the data says
877-acre lake near Munka-Ljungby. The lake tops out around 77 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Rössjön draws 929 acres inside 9.4 miles of shoreline — one island included. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. 41% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
