19-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 4 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
På kartan täcker Össebosjön 8 hektar innanför 1.4 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.5) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.6 km. Vattnet hör till Vimmerby kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Pipsjön, 1.6 km åt öster.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Össebosjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (13 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.
Spring northern pike on Össebosjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 1 to 4 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 4 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
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 | 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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 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 |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 1 to 4 m game here, winter a 1 to 4 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 0.5 to 4 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4 m covers summer, 0.5 to 4 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3.5 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout on Össebosjön. 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.
