Fishing Suuri Humalajärvi: what the data says
609-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 66 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Suuri Humalajärvi draws 621 acres inside 11.2 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 70% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
