66-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 3 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
På kartan täcker Gunnen 27 hektar innanför 2.3 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.3) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.8 km, som bredast 0.5 km. Vattnet hör till Värnamo kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Nästasjön, 1.6 km åt norr.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Gunnen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 3 m (10 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 3 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

| 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 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring european perch on Gunnen hold shallow, usually 1 to 3 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3 m in summer, 1 to 3 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 3 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for summer brown trout. Time it for after dark and early morning. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.

Spring puts common bream in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for fall common bream. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 0.5 to 3 m covers summer, 1 to 3 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for ruffe tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, common bream, roach, ruffe on Gunnen. 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.
