5,041-acre lake near Grythyttan. The lake tops out around 60 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Det finns 21.1 km ritad strandlinje att fiska av, uppbruten av 4 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.4) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 25% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 5.1 km, som bredast 2.3 km. Vattnet hör till Nora kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Klampen, 1.6 km åt sydost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Grecken, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 60 m (197 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, lake med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
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 |
Spring northern pike on Grecken 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 |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 7.5 to 21 m. Summer is a 15 to 37 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 18 m one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 27 m, good for summer. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Break off the point (27 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (27 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
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 15 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. 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 | open water | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (15 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 11 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | open water | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | open water | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season ruffe use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 9 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 12 m. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a micro jig and you're in the game.
| 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 | open water | Micro jig |
| Höst | 3.5 to 11 m | dusk | open water | Tiny jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 12 m | dusk | open water | Tungsten mormyshka |
