60-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 2.5 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Madesjösjön mäter 24 hektar bakom 3.1 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 1.3 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Nybro kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Dackebosjön, 6.4 km åt söder.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Madesjösjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 3 m (9 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 1 to 2.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 2.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 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.

Spring european perch on Madesjösjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 2.5 m in summer, 1 to 2.5 m once it turns cold. 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. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 2.5 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin 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.

Spring puts common bream in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 2.5 m. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 2.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 0.5 to 2.5 m covers summer, 1 to 2.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Start shallow in spring: rudd sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 2.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 2.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Open the map above to see every rated 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.
