724-acre lake near Filipstad. The lake tops out around 20 m. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
På kartan täcker Dalkarlssjön 312 hektar innanför 15.8 km strandlinje. Ett strandindex på 2.5 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 54% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 4.2 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.8 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Filipstad kommun. Lilla Smalsjön ligger 3.2 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Dalkarlssjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 20 m (67 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och sik. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| 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 (9 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 6 to 20 m game here, winter a 6 to 20 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 17 m, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon 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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 20 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 (9 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 6 to 20 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 17 m.
