1,794-acre lake near Laxå. The lake tops out around 18 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Östra Laxsjön 752 hektar innanför 22.9 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 3 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.3) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 46% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 4.2 km, som bredast 3.4 km. Vattnet hör till Askersund kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Västra Laxsjön, 3.2 km åt väster.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Östra Laxsjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| 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 |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 5.5 to 18 m. Even in summer they hold at 5.5 to 18 m; winter keeps them in 4.5 to 18 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 15 m, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
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 | 5.5 to 18 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (15 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 5.5 to 18 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (15 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 5.5 to 18 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (15 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (15 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 5.5 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 5.5 to 18 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 15 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.

Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 11 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (8 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season ruffe use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 9 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 12 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 8 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a micro jig and you're in the game.
