Fishing Lilla Krökingen: what the data says
14-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 45 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 14 acres wrapped in 0.8 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 49% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.

Northern Pike fishing at Lilla Krökingen
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 5 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

European Perch fishing at Lilla Krökingen
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 28 ft, then a winter hold in 12 to 33 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat.

A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
