Fishing Vingersjøen: what the data says
644-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 20 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.
Vingersjøen maps at 643 acres behind 9.1 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.6) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Roughly 97% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives.
