166-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 4 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Stensjön mäter 67 hektar bakom 3.7 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.3) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 1.1 km, som bredast 0.8 km. Vattnet hör till Nybro kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Store Hindsjön, 4.8 km åt norr.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stensjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (13 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 Stensjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 4 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 4 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in 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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 4 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 4 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 0.5 to 4 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4 m covers summer, 0.5 to 4 m covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 2 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Höst | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 4 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

In spring, rudd run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 4 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring rudd. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.

Early season tench use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 4 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, roach, rudd, tench, rainbow trout on Stensjön. 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. 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 Stensjön 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.
