23-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 5 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Sladtjärn mäter 9 hektar bakom 1.3 km strandlinje. 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 Tanum kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Södra Kornsjön, 1.6 km åt sydost.

Spring northern pike on Sladtjärn hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1.5 to 5 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, 1 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 (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 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 1.5 to 5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 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.

Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 0.5 to 5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1.5 to 5 m covers summer, 0.5 to 5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 2 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.

Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 1.5 to 5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1.5 to 5 m, and winter fish hold in 1.5 to 5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4.5 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.

Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1.5 to 5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 5 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 4.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Sladtjärn. 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. Open the map above to see every rated 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.
