Fishing Storsjön: what the data says
3,284-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 105 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Storsjön draws 3,276 acres inside 19.5 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.4, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 42% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
