11,515-acre lake near Kil. The lake tops out around 135 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Mellan-Fryken mäter 4 631 hektar bakom 71.5 km strandlinje, med en ö i vattnet. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 13% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 26.7 km, som bredast 5.1 km. Vattnet hör till Sunne kommun.

When the water first warms, landlocked salmon slide up into 0.5 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 7.5 to 18 m game here, winter a 3 to 12 m one. Start at Rottnan inflow. It's an inflow / creek mouth holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rottnan inflow (2.5 m) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | dawn & dusk | Offshore hump (5 m) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Rottnan inflow (2.5 m) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | dawn | Rottnan inflow (2.5 m) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 7.5 to 18 m, wintering in 1.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Rottnan inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rottnan inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rottnan inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Rottnan inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding 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. Put Rottnan inflow first on the milk run — an inflow / creek mouth near 2.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Rottnan inflow (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Offshore hump (5 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 |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 11 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 12 m. Start at Rottnan inflow. It's an inflow / creek mouth holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rottnan inflow (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Offshore hump (5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring burbot on Mellan-Fryken hold shallow, usually 7.5 to 21 m. They move out to 15 to 37 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 18 m. Put Offshore hump first on the milk run — an offshore hump near 5 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.

| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |

| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (5 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
