30-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 3.5 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Vattnet ritar ut 12 hektar med 1.4 km strand. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.2) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. 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 Alvesta kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Dansjön, 6.4 km åt sydost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Bräkentorpasjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (12 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 Bräkentorpasjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 3.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
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 | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 3.5 m, winter 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

| Höst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 0.5 to 3.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 3.5 m covers summer, 0.5 to 3.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
