Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
13-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 9.5 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
På kartan täcker Stämsjön 5 hektar innanför 1 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.2) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Cirka 50% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Vattnet hör till Munkedal kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Krokstad Långevatten, 1.6 km åt nordväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stämsjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 9 m (31 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.
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 4.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 9.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 8 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) 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 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 9.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 9.5 m, wintering in 1 to 9.5 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 4.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 9.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 9.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 2.5 to 9.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 2.5 to 9.5 m through summer, 2.5 to 9.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 8 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2.5 to 9.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 9.5 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 9.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 2.5 to 9.5 m. Through summer count on 2.5 to 9.5 m; the winter hold is 2.5 to 9.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.

Stämsjön is about 31 ft (9 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Stämsjön. 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 26 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
