56-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 12 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Sjökärrssjön mäter 23 hektar bakom 2.6 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.5) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Cirka 56% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.8 km, som bredast 0.5 km. Vattnet hör till Tanum kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Husevattnet, 1.6 km åt norr.

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 Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1.5 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 | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
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 Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1.5 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 | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 3.5 to 12 m, wintering in 1.5 to 11 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 5.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) 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 | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 3.5 to 12 m. The depth story barely changes: 3.5 to 12 m through summer, 3.5 to 12 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 11 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

| Vår | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Vinter | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 3.5 to 12 m. Through summer count on 3.5 to 12 m; the winter hold is 3 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 11 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 5.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 11 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |

| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
