When to fish lake whitefish in Sweden

• Spring 15–45 ft — Post-ice schools graze gravel shoals and hard-bottom flats for invertebrates — small jigs worked slowly.
• Summer 40–90 ft — Whitefish hold deep and cold — vertical blade baits or small spoons dragged near bottom on the deep humps.
• Fall 8–30 ft — The November spawn brings big schools onto shallow rock and gravel — the year's best shot at numbers.
• Winter 25–70 ft — An ice-jigging phenomenon — pound the bottom to raise silt, then hop a small spoon just above it.
