526-acre lake near Umeå. The lake tops out around 7 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Bäcksjön mäter 227 hektar bakom 9.3 km strandlinje, med en ö i vattnet. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.8) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Cirka 80% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 2.7 km, som bredast 1.3 km. Vattnet hör till Umeå kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Hissjön, 12.9 km åt väster.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2 to 7 m in summer and finish the year down in 2 to 7 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 7 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2 to 7 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 7 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| 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 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 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 |
Spring burbot on Bäcksjön hold shallow, usually 2 to 7 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 2 to 7 m in summer, 2 to 7 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 6 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2 to 7 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 2 to 7 m | night & midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 2 to 7 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 2 to 7 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7 m. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 7 m through summer, 1 to 7 m in winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 3 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2 to 7 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1 to 7 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 7 m | dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 6 m.
