1,567-acre lake near Säffle. The lake tops out around 8 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Sjönsjö mäter 594 hektar bakom 22.2 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 7 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.6 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 79% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 4.7 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.6 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Säffle kommun. Harefjorden ligger 4.8 km åt norr — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
