23,183-acre lake near Arvika. The lake tops out around 36 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
På kartan täcker Glafsfjorden 9 245 hektar innanför 175.7 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 20 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 5.2) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 51% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 42.2 km, som bredast 8.2 km. Vattnet hör till Arvika kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Stora Lesjön, 4.8 km åt söder.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down 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. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | Deep basin (30 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (30 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| 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 |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 4.5 to 11 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Creek inflow: an inflow / creek mouth around 2.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (9 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. The spot to know is Creek inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in spring. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (16 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. Rock reef is the standout, a rock pile at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for fall lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (16 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (16 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring burbot on Glafsfjorden hold shallow, usually 7.5 to 21 m. By summer they slide out to 11 to 36 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 18 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 30 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (16 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 11 to 36 m | night & midday | Deep basin (30 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (16 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
