Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
17-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 4 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
På kartan täcker Gotjärnet 7 hektar innanför 1 km strandlinje. Med index 1.1 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Hela sjön är grundare än ~5 m — vegetation och betesfisk från strand till strand. Räkna med 0.5 km vatten från ena änden till den andra. Sjön ligger i Arvika kommun. Gretjärnet ligger 0 km åt väster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Gotjärnet, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (13 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 puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 4 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 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.
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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 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 1 to 4 m, wintering in 1 to 4 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 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 (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 4 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 4 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 4 m. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 2 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Shoreline break (2 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Shoreline break (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 1 to 4 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 4 m, winter 1 to 4 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3.5 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.

| Vår | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (2 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 1 to 4 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4 m covers summer, 1 to 4 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.

Gotjärnet is about 13 ft (4 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 Gotjärnet. 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 3 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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.
