35-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 7.5 m. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
På kartan täcker Mösjö 14 hektar innanför 2.3 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 97% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 1 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Mönsterås kommun. Älmten ligger 1.6 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Mösjö, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 7 m (24 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.
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Back-bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 7.5 m, wintering in 2 to 7.5 m. Fall european perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 6 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
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 | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 7.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 7.5 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 2.5 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.

| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |

When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 2 to 7.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 7.5 m, winter 2 to 7.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 2 to 7.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 7.5 m covers summer, 2 to 7.5 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 6 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.

When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 5.5 m game here, winter a 2 to 7.5 m one. Start at Back-bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot, roach, rudd, tench on Mösjö. 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.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Mösjö 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.
