867-acre lake near Vimmerby. The lake tops out around 17 m. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Anen mäter 355 hektar bakom 20.8 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 5 öar. Ett strandindex på 3.1 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 57% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 5.1 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.6 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Vimmerby kommun. Juttersbogöl ligger 1.6 km åt söder — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

Spring roach on Anen hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 11 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.

Start shallow in spring: ruffe sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 9 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 m range, good in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Creek inflow (2 m) | Tiny bottom jig |
| Sommar | 3 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Micro jig |
| Höst | 3.5 to 11 m | dusk | open water | Tiny jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 12 m | dusk | Deep basin (15 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: vendace in 2.5 to 9 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 5 to 17 m before dropping to 4.5 to 15 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 15 m of water that rates prime for vendace in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
