Fishing Stora Glittern: what the data says
313-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 39 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 312 acres wrapped in 5.8 miles of bank. A development index of 2.4 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 73% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
