23-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 2.5 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Vattnet ritar ut 9 hektar med 1.3 km strand. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.1) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.5 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Ronneby kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Viesjön, 4.8 km åt nordost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ryssjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 2 m (8 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2.5 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Put Shallow bay 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 and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2.5 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 2.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2.5 m through summer, 0.5 to 2.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Shoreline break, a drop-off in the 1 m range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.

4 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 2 m, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Ryssjön specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Ryssjön is about 8 ft (2 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.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout on Ryssjön. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For northern pike, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
