Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
17-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 3 m. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Smedstorpasjön mäter 7 hektar bakom 1.1 km strandlinje. Med index 1.3 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Hela sjön är grundare än ~5 m — vegetation och betesfisk från strand till strand. Räkna med 0.5 km vatten från ena änden till den andra. Sjön ligger i Sävsjö kommun. Målarehemsgölen ligger 0 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Smedstorpasjön, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 3 m (10 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 3 m, wintering in 1 to 3 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage 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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for fall european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 3 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 2.5 m, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.

Structure-wise the chart holds 4 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 2.5 m.

Smedstorpasjön is about 10 ft (3 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout on Smedstorpasjön. 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.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 2 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.
