608-acre lake near Lekeryd. The lake tops out around 10 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Lilla Nätaren mäter 251 hektar bakom 15.6 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 6 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.8 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 76% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 3.2 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.8 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Nässjö kommun. Lången ligger 1.6 km åt väster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Lilla Nätaren, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 10 m (33 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gös och lake. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow 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 |
In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 10 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 10 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 4.5 m, rated prime for fall zander. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.

| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 3 to 10 m. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 10 m through summer, 2.5 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 burbot in spring. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.

Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

Spring rudd on Lilla Nätaren hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 0.5 to 3.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 9 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon.

Spring puts ruffe in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 9 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 10 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 8.5 m, rated prime for summer ruffe. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A micro jig covers the summer program.
