Fishing Sällsjön: what the data says
1,149-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 83 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 1,147 acres wrapped in 11 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. About 46% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
