19-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 8.5 m. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
På kartan täcker Lillasjön 8 hektar innanför 1.1 km strandlinje. Med index 1.2 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Ungefär 49% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Sjön ligger i Borås kommun. Svansjön ligger 1.6 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Lillasjön, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 9 m (28 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.
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Fall northern pike concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
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 2.5 to 8.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 8 m, rated prime for fall 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.
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 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring brown trout on Lillasjön hold shallow, usually 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 8.5 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 5 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 2.5 to 8.5 m. Through summer count on 2.5 to 8.5 m; the winter hold is 2.5 to 8.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.

| Vår | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 2.5 to 8.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 2.5 to 8.5 m through summer, 2 to 8.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 8 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.

3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 8 m, is the deepest of them.

Lillasjön is about 28 ft (9 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Lillasjön. 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 27 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each 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 Lillasjön 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.
