Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
20-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 15 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vattnet ritar ut 8 hektar med 1.1 km strand. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.2) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Cirka 10% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.5 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Lilla Edet kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Store-Väktor, 1.6 km åt väster.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Kringvattnet, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 15 m (49 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.
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | Shoreline break (6.5 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 |
Spring european perch on Kringvattnet hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. The chart's best answer is Shoreline break — drop-off, 6.5 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| 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 | Shoreline break (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Shoreline break (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 15 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 11 m. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 6.5 m, rated prime for summer brown trout. Time it for after dark and early morning. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) 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 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (6.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Shoreline break (6.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (6.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Shoreline break (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 13 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (6.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Vinter | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (13 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 4.5 to 15 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4.5 to 15 m, winter 3.5 to 15 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 13 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.

Kringvattnet carries 4 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 13 m down.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Kringvattnet specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Kringvattnet is about 49 ft (15 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Kringvattnet. 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.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 42 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
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.
