7-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 8 m. The depth chart comes from SMHI bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
På kartan täcker Stavsjön 3 hektar innanför 0.6 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.1) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Cirka 47% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Vattnet hör till Markaryd kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Grysshultasjö, 6.4 km åt söder.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stavsjön, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 8 m (26 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 northern pike on Stavsjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 2.5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| 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 (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 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 |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 8 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 8 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 8 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
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 | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8 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 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 8 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 7.5 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.

| 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 8 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 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 2.5 to 8 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2.5 to 8 m, and winter fish hold in 2.5 to 8 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 8 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 2.5 to 8 m. Even in summer they hold at 2.5 to 8 m; winter keeps them in 2 to 8 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 8 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

Stavsjön carries 3 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 8 m down.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Stavsjön specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Stavsjön is about 26 ft (8 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 Stavsjön. 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 interactive chart above rates every 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.
Fishing on Stavsjön 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.
