Fishing Stora Fjällsjön: what the data says
15-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 42 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 15 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 21% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
