Fishing Abborrsjön: what the data says
62-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 41 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Abborrsjön maps at 62 acres behind 1.6 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 54% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.

Northern Pike fishing at Abborrsjön
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 5 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
European Perch fishing at Abborrsjön
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 28 ft, then a winter hold in 12 to 33 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 5 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |

Brown Trout fishing at Abborrsjön
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 12 to 41 ft, wintering in 5 to 35 ft. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 18 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 35 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 12 to 41 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (18 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
