1,218-acre lake near Aneby. The lake tops out around 5 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
På kartan täcker Ralången 459 hektar innanför 15.9 km strandlinje, med en ö i vattnet. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2.1) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 93% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 6.4 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Aneby kommun. Sötasasjön ligger 11.3 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ralången, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 5 m (16 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och gös. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1.5 to 5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1.5 to 5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1.5 to 5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 5 m. The spot to know is Noån inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in about 1 m of water that rates prime for zander in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Vinter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring roach on Ralången hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |

| Vinter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Come spring, look for rudd tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 0.5 to 3.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon is the honest summer answer here.

Start shallow in spring: ruffe sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4.5 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Ralången is about 16 ft (5 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Ralången är som djupast cirka 5 meter (16 fot). Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.

Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Ralången is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
