Rating depth structure for northern pike.

506-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 22 m. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vattnet ritar ut 204 hektar med 10 km strand. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 60% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 2.7 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.8 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Örnsköldsvik kommun. Billsjösjön ligger 3.2 km åt nordost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Bysjön, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 22 m (71 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.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Secondary point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 7.5 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 7.5 to 18 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 11 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 7.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring lake whitefish on Bysjön hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 14 m. By summer they slide out to 6.5 to 22 m, and by winter most fish are in 7.5 to 21 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 17 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.
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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 7.5 to 21 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 6.5 to 22 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 18 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 17 m, rated prime for spring burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (17 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (17 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (17 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (17 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for european smelt tight to the bank in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 7.5 to 21 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 20 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 17 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |

| Höst | 4.5 to 17 m | dusk | Deep basin (17 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 20 m | dusk | Deep basin (17 m) | Tiny glow jig, Micro ice spoon |

Bysjön is about 71 ft (22 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Bysjön är som djupast cirka 22 meter (71 fot). Djupen kommer från verkliga lodningar.
Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot, european smelt, roach, ruffe on Bysjön. 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 2 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. The interactive chart above rates every 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.
Fishing on Bysjön is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
