Fishing Rangsjön: what the data says
677-acre lake near Torsby. The lake tops out around 75 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Rangsjön draws 672 acres inside 9.2 miles of shoreline — 2 islands included. A development index of 2.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 58% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.

Northern Pike fishing at Rangsjön
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 2 to 8 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 20 ft before dropping to 5 to 15 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 6 ft 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.
