16,860-acre Hake fjord Sweden coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited mixed survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official SMHI SVAR 2022 named coastal water in West Coast and Kattegat. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 59 m. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Hake fjord mäter 6 823 hektar bakom 160.3 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 210 öar. Ett strandindex på 5.5 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 28% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 19.6 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 9.8 km på bredden. Tjärne Vatten ligger 6.4 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Hake fjord, Sverige: källgranskade kustdjupkurvor (90 % direktmätt) ner till 59 m (195 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för havsöring, sill och strömming, makrill med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

In spring, sea trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 6 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 1.5 to 9 m for winter. Spring sea trout concentrate at Rock reef, a prime-rated rock pile around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (5.5 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (1 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (2 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 6 to 18 m for winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 5.5 m of water that rates good for atlantic herring in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.

| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

When the water first warms, atlantic mackerel slide up into 1.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 24 m game here, winter a 9 to 37 m one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 5.5 m of water and rates good come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a feather rig or a small vertical jig rigged through the warm months.

In spring, garfish run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 6 m before dropping to 6 to 18 m for winter. Spring garfish concentrate at Shoreline point, a prime-rated point around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly most summer days.

When the water first warms, european flounder slide up into 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 11 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 15 m one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 5.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bottom jig with spinner blade rigged through the warm months.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european plaice in 2.5 to 11 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 12 m, wintering in 7.5 to 24 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace gets it done.

Structure-wise the chart holds 11 features, led in depth by Deepest basin at roughly 55 m.
Access data: Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management - Bathing Locations and Waters. Confirm conditions and fees locally before you launch.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Hake fjord specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Svenska Fiskeregler and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management immediately before every coastal trip. Area-specific closures, protected spawning areas, minimum and maximum sizes, gear restrictions and species prohibitions can change; recreational fishing for Baltic cod is prohibited during 2026. A mapped depth contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-site access lead never establishes permission to fish, retain catch, cross private land, park, launch or navigate safely.

Hake fjord is about 195 ft (59 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Hake fjord är som djupast cirka 59 meter (195 fot). Djupen kommer från verkliga lodningar.
Official coastal monitoring from Sweden national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the sea trout, atlantic herring, atlantic mackerel, garfish, european flounder, european plaice, saithe (coalfish), atlantic cod roster for Hake fjord. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Rock reef is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For sea trout, 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.
Fishing on Hake fjord is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
