Fishing Tsalitpn Lake: what the data says
164-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 39 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Tsalitpn Lake runs 164 acres with 2.1 miles of edge. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. 51% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
