3,855-acre lake near Säffle. The lake tops out around 9 m. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Harefjorden mäter 1 550 hektar bakom 51 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 11 öar. Ett strandindex på 3.7 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 82% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 11.3 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 3.5 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Säffle kommun. Sjönsjö ligger 4.8 km åt söder — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Harefjorden, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 9 m (30 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| 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 | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| 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 | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 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 |
In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 9 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 9 m. Byälven inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring zander. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Byälven inflow (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 2.5 to 9 m. Through summer count on 2.5 to 9 m; the winter hold is 2.5 to 9 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Gravel shoal (1 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
