Fishing Vermevatnet: what the data says
1,452-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 295 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Vermevatnet draws 1,449 acres inside 7.1 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 4% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
