Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
407-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 19 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
På kartan täcker Flat 164 hektar innanför 10.3 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.3) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 52% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 3.2 km, som bredast 1.3 km. Vattnet hör till Bengtsfors kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Svalsjön, 3.2 km åt söder.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Flat, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 19 m (63 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre, öring med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring northern pike on Flat hold shallow, usually 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. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| 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 |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 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. 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 | 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 (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 8.5 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 19 m, wintering in 6 to 19 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 16 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
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 (8.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 19 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (16 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 6 to 19 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (16 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 6 to 19 m. Even in summer they hold at 6 to 19 m; winter keeps them in 4.5 to 18 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 16 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 16 m, is the deepest of them.

Flat is about 63 ft (19 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Flat. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For northern pike, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Flat is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
