3,311-acre lake near Älmhult. The lake tops out around 7.5 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Femlingen 1 282 hektar innanför 69.8 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 7 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 5.5) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 83% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 8.9 km, som bredast 4 km. Vattnet hör till Älmhult kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Vinen, 6.4 km åt öster.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Femlingen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 7 m (24 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.
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 2 to 7.5 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 | 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) |
| Höst | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 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 2.5 to 6 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 | 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 | Weed flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 2 to 7.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 7.5 m through summer, 2 to 7.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 6 m range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

| Vår | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |

| Vinter | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 5.5 m, wintering in 2 to 7.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |

| Vinter | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rudd in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 3.5 m before dropping to 2 to 7.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for rudd in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.

When the water first warms, ruffe slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 2 to 7.5 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a micro jig rigged through the warm months.
