3,805-acre lake near Hammerdal. The lake tops out around 26 m. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Gåxsjön mäter 1 568 hektar bakom 27.7 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 42% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 10 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 3.1 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Strömsund kommun. Ottsjön ligger 8 km åt väster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 1 to 7.5 m. They move out to 7.5 to 18 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 12 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Sharp break (9 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 14 m. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 26 m, then a winter hold in 7.5 to 21 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 22 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 8 to 26 m | dawn | Deep basin (22 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (1 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (22 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season european grayling use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 7.5 m. Put Feeding flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 3.5 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a dry fly (caddis, terrestrial) or a nymph under an indicator and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small dry fly (midge, olive), Inline spinner #0-1 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Feeding flat (3.5 m) | Dry fly (caddis, terrestrial), Nymph under an indicator |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Break off the point (12 m) | Weighted nymph, Small spoon (copper) |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (3.5 m) | Tiny jig + maggot, Small mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | Feeding flat (3.5 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 |
