23,450-acre lake near Linköping. The lake tops out around 8 m. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Roxen mäter 9 271 hektar bakom 106.7 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 22 öar. Ett strandindex på 3.1 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 75% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 26.2 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 10.1 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Linköping kommun. Geten ligger 8 km åt norr — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Roxen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 8 m (26 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 8 m before dropping to 2.5 to 8 m for winter. 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. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| 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 | 2 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8 m | midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. 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. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8 m before dropping to 2.5 to 8 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 3.5 m of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (0.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |

Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 2.5 to 8 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2.5 to 8 m, and winter fish hold in 2 to 8 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 6.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
