14,258-acre Rånöfjärden Sweden coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited mixed survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official SMHI SVAR 2022 named coastal water in Bothnian Bay. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 37 m. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Rånöfjärden mäter 5 770 hektar bakom 92.2 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 66 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3.4) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 25% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 14 km, som bredast 7.9 km. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Bergöfjärden, 8 km åt sydväst.

Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (1 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 11 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 12 m. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 4.5 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (11 m) | Slow blade bait |
Early season sea trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 9 m one. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 1.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (2.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Spring atlantic herring on Rånöfjärden hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 18 m. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 4.5 m, good for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Höst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (11 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring puts european whitefish in skinny water — 3 to 12 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8.5 to 24 m; cold water stacks them in 5.5 to 18 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 4.5 m, rated good for spring european whitefish. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small vertical spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

No Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management active bathing location matched within 400 metres of this exact mapped shoreline. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, local signs, parking, safety and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Rånöfjärden specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Svenska Fiskeregler and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management immediately before every coastal trip. Area-specific closures, protected spawning areas, minimum and maximum sizes, gear restrictions and species prohibitions can change; recreational fishing for Baltic cod is prohibited during 2026. A mapped depth contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-site access lead never establishes permission to fish, retain catch, cross private land, park, launch or navigate safely.

Rånöfjärden is about 122 ft (37 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Rånöfjärden är som djupast cirka 37 meter (122 fot). Djupen kommer från verkliga lodningar.
Official coastal monitoring from Sweden national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european perch, northern pike, zander, sea trout, atlantic herring, european whitefish, european flounder, european smelt roster for Rånöfjärden. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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 Rånöfjärden is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-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.
