Fishing Salbosjön: what the data says
1,329-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 171 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Salbosjön maps at 1,326 acres behind 9.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 45% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
