25,452-acre lake near Vilhelmina. The lake tops out around 111 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
På kartan täcker Malgomaj 10 073 hektar innanför 248.6 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 71 öar. Ett strandindex på 7 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 29% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 45.4 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 9.5 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Vilhelmina kommun. Insjön ligger 29 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Malgomaj, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 111 m (363 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för öring, harr, röding med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 7.5 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Lavabäcken inflow: an inflow / creek mouth around 2.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Lavabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Deep break (14 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Lavabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Lavabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european grayling on Malgomaj hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 7.5 m. Put Lavabäcken inflow first on the milk run — an inflow / creek mouth near 2.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a dry fly (caddis, terrestrial) or a nymph under an indicator.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Lavabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small dry fly (midge, olive), Inline spinner #0-1 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Lavabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Dry fly (caddis, terrestrial), Nymph under an indicator |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Lavabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Weighted nymph, Small spoon (copper) |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Tiny jig + maggot, Small mormyshka |
Spring arctic char on Malgomaj hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 6 to 18 m in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 12 m. Put Offshore hump first on the milk run — an offshore hump near 8 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt).
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Lavabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |

| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring lake whitefish on Malgomaj hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 14 m. They move out to 12 to 27 m in summer and finish the year down in 7.5 to 21 m. Put Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 2.5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 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. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow flat (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
