5,708-acre lake near Sorsele. The lake tops out around 51 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vattnet ritar ut 2 308 hektar med 52.8 km strand, uppbruten av 4 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3.1) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 28% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 16.1 km, som bredast 6.4 km. Vattnet hör till Sorsele kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Övre Boksjön, 17.7 km åt sydväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Överst-Juktan, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 51 m (167 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för röding, öring och harr. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Start shallow in spring: arctic char sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 12 m. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 10 m of water that rates prime for arctic char in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. Summer brown trout concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 10 m. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: european grayling sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 7.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates good for european grayling in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a dry fly (caddis, terrestrial) or a nymph under an indicator 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) | Small dry fly (midge, olive), Inline spinner #0-1 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Dry fly (caddis, terrestrial), Nymph under an indicator |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m | midday | open water | Weighted nymph, Small spoon (copper) |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tiny jig + maggot, Small mormyshka |
