15,719-acre Skälderviken. North West Sweden coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited mixed survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official SMHI SVAR 2022 named coastal water in Skåne and southern Baltic. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 27 m. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Skälderviken - North West mäter 6 358 hektar bakom 38.5 km strandlinje. Med index 1.4 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Ungefär 1% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 14.3 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 8.5 km på bredden. Skälderviken - Central West ligger 6.4 km åt söder — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Start shallow in spring: sea trout sit in 1 to 6 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 9 m range, good in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Shoreline point (9 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Spring puts atlantic herring in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 18 m. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.

Spring european flounder on Skälderviken - North West hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. They move out to 2 to 11 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 15 m. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bottom jig with spinner blade.

No Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management active bathing location matched within 400 metres of this exact mapped shoreline. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, local signs, parking, safety and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Skälderviken - North West specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Svenska Fiskeregler and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management immediately before every coastal trip. Area-specific closures, protected spawning areas, minimum and maximum sizes, gear restrictions and species prohibitions can change; recreational fishing for Baltic cod is prohibited during 2026. A mapped depth contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-site access lead never establishes permission to fish, retain catch, cross private land, park, launch or navigate safely.
