Rating depth structure for northern pike.

693-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 10 m. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vattnet ritar ut 280 hektar med 17.9 km strand. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 97% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 4.8 km, som bredast 1.6 km. Vattnet hör till Växjö kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Gårdsjön, 1.6 km åt sydväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Lången, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 10 m (33 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.
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Back-bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 3 to 10 m, wintering in 1.5 to 10 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 4 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
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 | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 3 to 10 m. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 10 m through summer, 3 to 10 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 8.5 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

| Vår | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (4 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 3 to 10 m. Through summer count on 3 to 10 m; the winter hold is 2.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.

In spring, common bream run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 7.5 m before dropping to 3 to 10 m for winter. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 8.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. 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.
Fishing on Lången 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.
