Fishing Nordsjön: what the data says
197-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 43 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Nordsjön draws 197 acres inside 3.5 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 31% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.

Northern Pike fishing at Nordsjön
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 2 to 8 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 20 ft before dropping to 5 to 15 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 5 ft 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.
