4,547-acre lake near Alingsås. The lake tops out around 36 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Anten mäter 1 843 hektar bakom 40.7 km strandlinje, med en ö i vattnet. Ett strandindex på 2.7 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 38% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 10.8 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 5 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Alingsås kommun. Hälsingen ligger 3.2 km åt väster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Anten, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 36 m (118 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Feeding flat (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. 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) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 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 |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Mellbyån inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Mellbyån inflow (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (9 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 7.5 to 21 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 11 to 36 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 18 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 30 m, rated prime for summer burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.
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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (16 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 11 to 36 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (30 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 | Rock reef (2 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 7.5 to 18 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 11 m one. Start at Mellbyån inflow. It's an inflow / creek mouth holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Mellbyån 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 | Mellbyån inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Mellbyån inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring roach on Anten hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.
