Fishing Sock Lake: what the data says
33-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 42 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.
Sock Lake maps at 33 acres behind 1.8 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 62% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
