Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
22-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 16 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Sniptjärnen 9 hektar innanför 1.3 km strandlinje. Med index 1.2 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Ungefär 19% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 0.5 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Torsby kommun. Lekvattensjön ligger 1.6 km åt sydväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Sniptjärnen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 16 m (53 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.
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 4 m, rated prime for fall northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (4 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Summer european perch concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 7.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. 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 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 16 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 11 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 7.5 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.
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 | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 5 to 16 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (4 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 5 to 16 m game here, winter a 5 to 16 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 14 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.

| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 5 to 16 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (14 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 5 to 16 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 16 m covers summer, 4 to 16 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 14 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Sniptjärnen. 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 45 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. 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.
