3,904-acre lake near Åmål. The lake tops out around 37 m. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Ånimmen mäter 1 593 hektar bakom 50.5 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 4 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3.6) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 43% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 12.6 km, som bredast 2.9 km. Vattnet hör till Åmål kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Furusjön, 3.2 km åt nordost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ånimmen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 37 m (121 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, öring med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| 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 | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is 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 (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 11 m. Creek inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (16 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: arctic char in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 18 m, wintering in 3 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Creek inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Break off the point (16 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season landlocked salmon use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 7.5 to 18 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 12 m. Put Creek inflow first on the milk run — an inflow / creek mouth near 2.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (16 m) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | dawn | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 7.5 to 21 m. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 37 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 18 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 31 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (16 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (31 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (16 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (16 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
