5,782-acre lake near Braås. The lake tops out around 38 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Örken mäter 2 321 hektar bakom 81.9 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 21 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 4.8) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 54% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 16.4 km, som bredast 4.3 km. Vattnet hör till Växjö kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Hyssingen, 1.6 km åt väster.

Spring european perch on Örken hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 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. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| 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 | Sharp break (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | Sharp break (3 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 |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 7.5 to 21 m. By summer they slide out to 15 to 37 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 32 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (17 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (32 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (17 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. The spot to know is Offshore hump, an offshore hump in about 5 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (17 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 5.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 11 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | Sharp break (3 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
When the water first warms, vendace slide up into 2.5 to 9 m. Summer is a 7.5 to 20 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 15 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 17 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
