58-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 2.5 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Vattnet ritar ut 23 hektar med 1.9 km strand. 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 0.6 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.5 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Lessebo kommun. Hyllsjön ligger 3.2 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Hacksjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 2 m (8 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.
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

| 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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2.5 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 | 0.5 to 2.5 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 — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2.5 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 1 m, prime for summer. Best bite is 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 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 2.5 m, winter 0.5 to 2.5 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 tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

In spring, ruffe run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2.5 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 2 m, rated prime for summer ruffe. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a micro jig most summer days.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, roach, ruffe, tench on Hacksjön. 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.
