40-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 4 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Vattnet ritar ut 16 hektar med 2.1 km strand. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.5) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.8 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Växjö kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Trummen, 1.6 km åt nordväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Barnsjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (13 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring northern pike on Barnsjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 1 to 4 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 4 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 2 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 1 to 4 m game here, winter a 1 to 4 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 0.5 to 4 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4 m covers summer, 0.5 to 4 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Vår | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

| Vinter | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 1 to 4 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4 m covers summer, 1 to 4 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 3.5 m of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4 m, wintering in 1 to 4 m. Fall roach concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

In spring, rudd run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 3.5 m before dropping to 1 to 4 m for winter. Winter rudd concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, common bream, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, white bream on Barnsjön. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 11 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For northern pike, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
