717-acre lake near Färgelanda. The lake tops out around 7 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Vattnet ritar ut 293 hektar med 15.3 km strand, uppbruten av 3 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.5) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 82% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 4.3 km, som bredast 1.3 km. Vattnet hör till Färgelanda kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Vassalen, 3.2 km åt söder.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ellenösjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 7 m (23 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och gös. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring european perch on Ellenösjön hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 7 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 7 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 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 and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring zander on Ellenösjön hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 7 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 7 m. The chart's best answer is Creek inflow — inflow / creek mouth, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 7 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Start shallow in spring: rudd sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2 to 7 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for rudd in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for ruffe tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 7 m, then a winter hold in 2 to 7 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
