Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
1,705-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 26 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.
På kartan täcker Giertsjaure 688 hektar innanför 24.5 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.6) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 61% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 8.5 km, som bredast 2.6 km. Vattnet hör till Sorsele kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Storvindeln, 14.5 km åt söder.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Giertsjaure, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 26 m (85 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 Giertsjaure hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in 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. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 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 | 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 7.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 11 m. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 6.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. 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 (6.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (6.5 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 | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 26 m; cold water stacks them in 7.5 to 21 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 22 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. 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 | open water | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 8 to 26 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (22 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (6.5 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 burbot use the shallows, holding in 7.5 to 21 m. Summer is an 8 to 26 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 18 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 22 m, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
5 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 22 m, is the deepest of them.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Giertsjaure. 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.
