Fishing Tapptjärnen: what the data says
15-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 43 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 15 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.1) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. About 38% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
