65-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 13 m. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
På kartan täcker Södra Holmsjön 26 hektar innanför 2.4 km strandlinje. Med index 1.3 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Ungefär 56% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 0.8 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.5 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Degerfors kommun. Brännsjön ligger 1.6 km åt sydväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Södra Holmsjön, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 13 m (43 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. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 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.
| 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 | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for summer 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 3.5 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 (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 4 to 13 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 11 m one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 3.5 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.
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 (1 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (1 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4 to 13 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4 to 13 m, winter 4 to 13 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 12 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.

| Vår | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 4 to 13 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 4 to 13 m covers summer, 3.5 to 13 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 12 m of water that rates prime for burbot in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.

Södra Holmsjön is about 43 ft (13 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 Holmsjön. 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. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
Fishing on Södra Holmsjön is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
