Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
79-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 19 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
På kartan täcker Övern 32 hektar innanför 3.2 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.6) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 42% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 0.8 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.6 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Arvika kommun. Norra Baksjön ligger 1.6 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Övern, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 19 m (62 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre, öring med flera. 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. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| 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, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| 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 (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring brown trout on Övern hold shallow, usually 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 7.5 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 11 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 8.5 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 4.5 to 14 m. They move out to 6 to 19 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 19 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 16 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 19 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (16 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 6 to 19 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (16 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 6 to 19 m. The depth story barely changes: 6 to 19 m through summer, 4.5 to 18 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 16 m of water that rates prime for burbot in spring. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Övern. 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 6 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. The interactive chart above rates every 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.
