34-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 7 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Hammartjärn mäter 14 hektar bakom 1.4 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.1) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Cirka 59% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.6 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Arvika kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Stömnesjön, 3.2 km åt väster.

Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 7 m game here, winter a 2 to 7 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 7 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 7 m. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 3 m, rated prime for summer brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (3 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Shoreline break (3 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (3 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Shoreline break (3 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 2 to 7 m. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 7 m through summer, 2 to 7 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 6 m range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

| Vår | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (3 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |

| Vinter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 2 to 7 m. Through summer count on 2 to 7 m; the winter hold is 2 to 7 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Hammartjärn. 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. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
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.
