245-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vattnet ritar ut 99 hektar med 6 km strand. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 1.9 km, som bredast 1.1 km. Vattnet hör till Värnamo kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Feresjö, 3.2 km åt nordväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Älganässjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (12 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 1 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 3.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

| Sommar | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |

| Vinter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring european perch on Älganässjön hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3.5 m in summer, 1 to 3.5 m once it turns cold. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

| Vinter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3.5 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 1.5 m. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.

Spring puts common bream in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3.5 m. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 3.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for ruffe tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
