Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
652-acre lake near Sjöbo. The lake tops out around 5.5 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vattnet ritar ut 270 hektar med 8.7 km strand, uppbruten av 2 öar. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.5) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Cirka 92% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 2.4 km, som bredast 1.8 km. Vattnet hör till Ystad kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Snogeholmssjön, 3.2 km åt norr.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ellestadssjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 5 m (18 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och karp. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 1.5 to 5.5 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 5.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| 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 | 1.5 to 5.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 1.5 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down 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. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | 1.5 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 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 |
Early season common carp use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 5.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Höst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 4.5 m, is the deepest of them.

Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
