Fishing Syväjärvi: what the data says
57-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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Syväjärvi draws 57 acres inside 1.8 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 49% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.
