733-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 15 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vattnet ritar ut 296 hektar med 14 km strand. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.3) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 26% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 6.4 km, som bredast 1.1 km. Vattnet hör till Arvika kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Mörttjärnet, 3.2 km åt öster.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Bergsjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 15 m (49 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre, öring med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
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, 2 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 (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 |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 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. 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 (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 6.5 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.
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 | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 15 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 15 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 13 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.

| Vinter | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (13 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring burbot on Bergsjön hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 15 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 4.5 to 15 m in summer, 3.5 to 15 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 13 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 7.5 m, wintering in 5.5 to 14 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 13 m range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening.
