Fishing Per-Jostjärnen: what the data says
16-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 56 ft. 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Per-Jostjärnen draws 16 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 15% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.

Northern Pike fishing at Per-Jostjärnen
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 14-ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |

Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 25-ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
