Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
6-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Vattnet ritar ut 2 hektar med 1 km strand. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Vattnet hör till Torsby kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Smöråtjärnet, 3.2 km åt norr.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Smaltjärnet, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (12 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.
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 1 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 3.5 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 1.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |

Spring european perch on Smaltjärnet hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3.5 m in summer, 1 to 3.5 m once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 3 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

| Vinter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3.5 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 1.5 m. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.

| Vinter | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 3.5 m covers summer, 1 to 3.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 3 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 3.5 m, winter 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Smaltjärnet. 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.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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.
