608-acre lake near Västra Ämtervik. The lake tops out around 8 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Aplungen mäter 252 hektar bakom 8.9 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.6) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 76% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 2.9 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Sunne kommun. Knutstorpssjön ligger 6.4 km åt väster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Aplungen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 8 m (26 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre och gädda. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 8 m, wintering in 2.5 to 8 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8 m | midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Structure-wise the chart holds 9 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 6.5 m.
