969-acre lake near Unnaryd. The lake tops out around 14 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Fjällen mäter 407 hektar bakom 15 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2.1) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 57% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 2.7 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.6 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Hylte kommun. Rangen ligger 3.2 km åt söder — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Fjällen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 14 m (46 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och sik. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. 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 (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. 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 (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 14 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 14 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 12 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 14 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 14 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 5.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 11 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, ruffe run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 9 m before dropping to 4.5 to 12 m for winter. Winter ruffe concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 12 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a micro jig most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | open water | Tiny bottom jig |
| Sommar | 3 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Micro jig |
| Höst | 3.5 to 11 m | dusk | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tiny jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 12 m | dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
