Fishing Suorkejaure: what the data says
658-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 154 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Suorkejaure runs 656 acres with 5.5 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 3% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
