633-acre lake near Ekshärad. The lake tops out around 13 m. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Grängen 238 hektar innanför 11.1 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 60% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 4.3 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.1 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Hagfors kommun. Svinsjön ligger 1.6 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring roach on Grängen hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Come spring, look for rudd tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 0.5 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 9 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Höst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Micro jig |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: ruffe sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 9 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 12 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 11 m of water that rates prime for ruffe in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | open water | Tiny bottom jig |
| Sommar | 3 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 m) | Micro jig |
| Höst | 3.5 to 11 m | dusk | Deep basin (11 m) | Tiny jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 12 m | dusk | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 11 m.
