Fishing Skjellbreia Grøa: what the data says
570-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 85 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 569 acres wrapped in 12 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 3.6, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. About 32% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
