2,669-acre lake near Ljungby. The lake tops out around 22 m. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Kösen mäter 1 067 hektar bakom 32.8 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 11 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.8 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 50% 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 2.9 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Ljungby kommun. Lillasjö ligger 9.7 km åt norr — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Kösen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 22 m (72 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gös, sik med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Bolmån inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Bolmån inflow (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Old creek channel (11 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring lake whitefish on Kösen hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 14 m. By summer they slide out to 6.5 to 22 m, and by winter most fish are in 7.5 to 21 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 19 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (19 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |

| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (19 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring roach on Kösen hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |

Start shallow in spring: ruffe sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 9 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 12 m. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 6.5 m of water that rates prime for ruffe in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Bolmån inflow (2 m) | Tiny bottom jig |
| Sommar | 3 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Micro jig |
| Höst | 3.5 to 11 m | dusk | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Tiny jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 12 m | dusk | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: vendace in 2.5 to 9 m. As the season builds they drop to 7.5 to 20 m, wintering in 4.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 19 m range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon gets it done.
