Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
32-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 8 m. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vattnet ritar ut 13 hektar med 1.6 km strand. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.3) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Cirka 43% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.6 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Arvika kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Bålgårdstjärnet, 1.6 km åt nordost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Mötterudstjärnen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 8 m (26 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.
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 | Shoreline break (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (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.
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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
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 Shoreline break, 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 | Shoreline break (3.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Shoreline break (3.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (3.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Shoreline break (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 2.5 to 8 m. The depth story barely changes: 2.5 to 8 m through summer, 2.5 to 8 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 6.5 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (3.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |

| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
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.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Mötterudstjärnen. 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.
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. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
