Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
398-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 24 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Sandsjön mäter 161 hektar bakom 11.7 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.6) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 52% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 3.4 km, som bredast 1.4 km. Vattnet hör till Årjäng kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Långevattnet, 1.6 km åt sydväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Sandsjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 24 m (79 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre, öring med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring northern pike on Sandsjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 7.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 11 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 11 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 24 m; cold water stacks them in 7.5 to 21 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 20 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 24 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (20 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (6 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (20 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 7.5 to 21 m. Summer is a 7.5 to 24 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 18 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 20 m, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 24 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (20 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 7.5 to 24 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
In spring, european smelt run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 7.5 to 21 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 20 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 20 m, rated prime for summer european smelt. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | night & dusk | open water | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 21 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Tiny vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 4.5 to 17 m | dusk | Break off the point (11 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 20 m | dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Tiny glow jig, Micro ice spoon |

Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
