4,003-acre lake near Dals Långed. The lake tops out around 46 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Laxsjön mäter 1 660 hektar bakom 51.2 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 4 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3.5) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 33% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 11.4 km, som bredast 4.2 km. Vattnet hör till Bengtsfors kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Ärtingen, 6.4 km åt nordväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Laxsjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 46 m (151 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, sik med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring european perch on Laxsjön hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run 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 | Sharp break (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run 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 | Weed flat (2.5 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 |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 21 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (3 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (21 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Sharp break (3 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (21 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. Spring brown trout concentrate at Stenebyälven inflow, a prime-rated inflow / creek mouth around 2.5 m. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Stenebyälven inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (12 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Stenebyälven inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Stenebyälven inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 7.5 to 21 m. By summer they slide out to 15 to 37 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 39 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (21 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (39 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (21 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
