95-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 4 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.
Olasjön mäter 38 hektar bakom 3.9 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.8) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Hela sjön är grundare än ~5 m — vegetation och betesfisk från strand till strand. Räkna med 1.6 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.5 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Alvesta kommun. Borrasjön ligger 3.2 km åt norr — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4 m before dropping to 1 to 4 m for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

| 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 | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 4 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring brown trout on Olasjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 4 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 4 m in summer, 0.5 to 4 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 2 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).

| Vår | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 4 m. Through summer count on 1 to 4 m; the winter hold is 1 to 4 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 4 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 4 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

Spring puts ruffe in skinny water — 1 to 4 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 4 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 4 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for summer ruffe. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A micro jig covers the summer program.

6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 3.5 m, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Olasjön specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Olasjön is about 13 ft (4 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, common bream, roach, ruffe on Olasjön. 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. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
