Fishing Storsjön: what the data says
106-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 20 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.
The drawn water covers 106 acres wrapped in 1.9 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. About 83% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
