46-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 25 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Hundsjön mäter 18 hektar bakom 2.6 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 36% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 1.1 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Umeå kommun. Gullsjön ligger 6.4 km åt väster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Hundsjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 25 m (83 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre, öring 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: northern pike in 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. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 7.5 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 6.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring lake whitefish on Hundsjön hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 14 m. They move out to 7.5 to 25 m in summer and finish the year down in 7.5 to 21 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 22 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.
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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 25 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (22 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (22 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 7.5 to 21 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 25 m before dropping to 4.5 to 18 m for winter. Summer burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 22 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 25 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (22 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for european smelt tight to the bank in 1 to 7.5 m. They move out to 7.5 to 21 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 20 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 22 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | night & dusk | open water | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 21 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (22 m) | Tiny vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 4.5 to 17 m | dusk | Deep basin (22 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 20 m | dusk | Deep basin (22 m) | Tiny glow jig, Micro ice spoon |

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot, european smelt, ruffe on Hundsjön. 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 6 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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.
Fishing on Hundsjön is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish 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.
