Fishing Syrjäjärvi: what the data says
157-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 49 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, Syrjäjärvi draws 156 acres inside 3.3 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 65% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.
