Fishing Tennevatnet: what the data says
31-acre lake in Norway. 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.
Tennevatnet maps at 31 acres behind 1 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. About 29% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
