Rating depth structure for northern pike.

660-acre lake near Rottne. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Sörabysjön mäter 270 hektar bakom 10.5 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.8) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Hela sjön är grundare än ~5 m — vegetation och betesfisk från strand till strand. Räkna med 3.4 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.8 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Växjö kommun. Övrasjö ligger 3.2 km åt nordost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Sörabysjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (12 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och siklöja. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 3.5 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
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 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| 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, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 3.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #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 |
| Höst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 3.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, vendace run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 3.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3 m, rated prime for spring vendace. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon most summer days.

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, roach, vendace on Sörabysjön.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
