Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
996-acre lake near Åtorp. The lake tops out around 15 m. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Ölen mäter 413 hektar bakom 23 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 2 öar. Ett strandindex på 3.2 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 63% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 8 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Degerfors kommun. Gällen ligger 3.2 km åt nordost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ölen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 15 m (48 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och lake. 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 | Deep basin (12 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m 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.
| 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 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, burbot run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 15 m. Summer keeps them at 4.5 to 15 m, and they winter in 3.5 to 15 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 12 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 | 4.5 to 15 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | night & midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 4.5 to 15 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 15 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
8 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 12 m, is the deepest of them.
