Fishing Stora Skäppträsket: what the data says
2,822-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 105 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 2,816 acres wrapped in 17.2 miles of bank. 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. About 38% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
