Fishing Sörtjärnen: what the data says
59-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 16 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Sörtjärnen runs 59 acres with 2.8 miles of edge. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.6) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 91% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
