20,510-acre lake near Östersund. The lake tops out around 44 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Näkten 8 215 hektar innanför 187.8 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 46 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 5.8) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 44% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 37.5 km, som bredast 6.9 km. Vattnet hör till Berg kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Lill-Sundstjärnen, 4.8 km åt öster.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Näkten, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 44 m (144 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, sik, gädda med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is 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 | Sharp break (4 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (4 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. Rock reef is the standout, a rock pile at roughly 2 m, rated prime for fall lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (37 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Best bite is 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (4 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 |
In spring, european grayling run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 7.5 m. Creek inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring european grayling. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a dry fly (caddis, terrestrial) or a nymph under an indicator most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Small dry fly (midge, olive), Inline spinner #0-1 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Dry fly (caddis, terrestrial), Nymph under an indicator |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Sharp break (4 m) | Weighted nymph, Small spoon (copper) |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4 m) | Tiny jig + maggot, Small mormyshka |
In spring, arctic char run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 12 m. Creek inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring arctic char. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Sharp break (4 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. The spot to know is Creek inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in spring. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. 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 | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (11 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
