539-acre lake near Svanskog. The lake tops out around 17 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.
Vattnet ritar ut 234 hektar med 15.9 km strand. Ett strandindex på 2.9 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 59% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 5 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Säffle kommun. Gransjön ligger 3.2 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Öster-Svan, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 17 m (57 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
