Fishing Rydssjön: what the data says
30-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 18 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The drawn water covers 30 acres wrapped in 1 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 90% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
