988-acre lake near Gnosjö. The lake tops out around 11 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
På kartan täcker Hären 419 hektar innanför 18.7 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 4 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.6 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 70% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 5.6 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.9 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Gislaved kommun. Sunnerbosjön ligger 1.6 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Hären, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 11 m (36 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och gös. 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 3.5 to 10 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 | Break off the point (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (9.5 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 (5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (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, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 11 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 5 m, rated prime for fall 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.
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 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 11 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 tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring puts ruffe in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 9 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 11 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9.5 m, rated prime for fall ruffe. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A micro jig covers the summer program.

Spring puts tench in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring tench. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
