24-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 3 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Norra Älten mäter 10 hektar bakom 1.3 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.2) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.5 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Alvesta kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Södra Älten, 1.6 km åt söder.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Norra Älten, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 3 m (10 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. 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. They move out to 1 to 3 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 3 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 1.5 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 2.5 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 3 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for summer brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 2.5 m.

Norra Älten is about 10 ft (3 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout on Norra Älten. 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.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
