526-acre lake near Tierp. The lake tops out around 2.5 m. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Fälaren mäter 202 hektar bakom 11.1 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 2 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.2) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 2.3 km, som bredast 1.9 km. Vattnet hör till Tierp kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Fillsartrusket, 4.8 km åt söder.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 2.5 m, winter 1 to 2.5 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. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 2.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

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

Early season ruffe use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 2.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 2.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 2.5 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a micro jig and you're in the game.
