Fishing Storpotten: what the data says
19-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 26 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Storpotten runs 19 acres with 0.8 miles of edge. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.4) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. 63% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
