833-acre lake near Deje. The lake tops out around 8 m. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
På kartan täcker Lusten 331 hektar innanför 13.4 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2.1) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Cirka 74% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 3.2 km, som bredast 2.1 km. Vattnet hör till Forshaga kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Tjunken, 4.8 km åt söder.

Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8 m, wintering in 1 to 8 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 3.5 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1 to 8 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 8 m | dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
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 1 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 (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow 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 to 8 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8 m. Put Shallow 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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8 m | midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 2.5 to 8 m. Through summer count on 2.5 to 8 m; the winter hold is 2 to 8 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 6.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2.5 to 8 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8 m | night & midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 2 to 8 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
