Shape and shoreline

shoreline 6 mi
shoreline index 2.1
fetch 2 mi
calmest west — east

The shoreline is heavily indented — bays, points and spits. Look for pike at the mouths of the bays and on the drop-offs behind the points. The largest water around: all 10 neighbours are smaller.

The wind builds its wave along the north — south axis — 2 mi of open water; along west — east there is only 0.8 mi. When it runs down the main axis, the calm water sits against the bank it blows from, while the wave and the silt go to the far one — and the fish follow them there to feed.
