61-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 13 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Gryttjestjärnen runs 61 acres with 1.5 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory.

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4 to 13 ft; cold water stacks them in 4 to 13 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 3 ft, 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.

Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 3 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 6 ft 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.
