1,626-acre lake near Åtvidaberg. The lake tops out around 13 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vattnet ritar ut 659 hektar med 47.2 km strand, uppbruten av 11 öar. Ett strandindex på 5.2 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 79% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 7.4 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 3.1 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Åtvidaberg kommun. Lången ligger 4.8 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Hövern, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 13 m (44 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.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 11 m, wintering in 6 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 11 m range, prime in winter. Time it for the evening and early morning. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 4 to 13 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 13 m, and winter fish hold in 3.5 to 13 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 11 m, rated prime for spring burbot. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4 to 13 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (11 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 4 to 13 m | night & midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 4 to 13 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (11 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 13 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (11 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
