3,089-acre lake near Hörken. The lake tops out around 44 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vattnet ritar ut 1 216 hektar med 34.4 km strand, uppbruten av 3 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.8 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 36% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 7.9 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 3.5 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Ljusnarsberg kommun. Lammitjärnen ligger 4.8 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Norra Hörken, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 44 m (144 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, lake, öring med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 7.5 to 21 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 37 m before dropping to 4.5 to 18 m for winter. Summer burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 37 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (37 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 7.5 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Creek inflow: an inflow / creek mouth around 2.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
| 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) |
Spring roach on Norra Hörken hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 11 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Shoreline point (1.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Feeding flat (10 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: vendace in 2.5 to 9 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 20 m before dropping to 4.5 to 15 m for winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Micro silver spoon, Tiny white jig |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 20 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Micro jig fished vertically, Tiny flutter spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Tiny silver spoon, Micro mormyshka |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | open water | Tiny ice spoon, Tungsten mormyshka |
