231-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 12 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.
Södra Fyllen mäter 93 hektar bakom 3.9 km strandlinje. Med index 1.1 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Ungefär 84% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 1.3 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Värnamo kommun. Norra Fyllen ligger 1.6 km åt norr — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Back-bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2.5 m range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3.5 to 12 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 11 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 11 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.
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 (0.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 3.5 to 12 m. Even in summer they hold at 3.5 to 12 m; winter keeps them in 3.5 to 12 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 11 m, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.

| Vår | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 3.5 to 12 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3.5 to 12 m, and winter fish hold in 3 to 12 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 11 m, rated prime for spring burbot. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.

Södra Fyllen is about 41 ft (12 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, lake whitefish, burbot on Södra Fyllen. 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. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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.
