Rating depth structure for northern pike.

22-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 2.5 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 8 hektar med 1.4 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 0.6 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Emmaboda kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Gransjösjön, 4.8 km åt väster.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Bodasjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 2 m (8 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.
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2.5 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 2.5 m. 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.
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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2.5 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 2.5 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.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2.5 m through summer, 0.5 to 2.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 2 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.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2.5 m through summer, 0.5 to 2.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 2 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening.

In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2.5 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring roach. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

Spring puts rudd in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring rudd. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, common bream, roach, rudd, tench on Bodasjön. 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
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.
