865-acre lake near Ljungby. The lake tops out around 7.5 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
På kartan täcker Exen 325 hektar innanför 15.4 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 4 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.4 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 81% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 3.7 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.4 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Markaryd kommun. Tuvesjön ligger 6.4 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Exen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 7 m (24 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 7.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 7.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

| 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 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| 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 (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 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 |
Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 7.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 7.5 m. Bolmån inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring zander. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Bolmån inflow (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 7.5 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 tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, ruffe run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 7.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2 to 7.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 6 m, rated prime for summer ruffe. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a micro jig most summer days.

Spring puts vendace in skinny water — 2 to 7.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 7.5 m, and winter fish hold in 2 to 7.5 m. Spring vendace concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 6 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon covers the summer program.

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, roach, ruffe, vendace on Exen.
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.
