64-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 6 m. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Ålsjön mäter 26 hektar bakom 3.1 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Cirka 87% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 1.1 km, som bredast 0.6 km. Vattnet hör till Västervik kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Loftersgöl, 0 km åt sydväst.

Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 2 to 6 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 6 m that grades prime for fall. 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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 0.5 to 6 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 6 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 6 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 6 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 2 to 6 m. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 6 m through summer, 2 to 6 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 6 m 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.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 1.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 2 to 6 m. Through summer count on 2 to 6 m; the winter hold is 1.5 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 6 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.

Ålsjön carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 6 m down.

Ålsjön is about 20 ft (6 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Ålsjön. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For northern pike, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Ålsjön is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
