Rating depth structure for northern pike.

328-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 17 m. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Stensjön mäter 133 hektar bakom 6.6 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.6) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 52% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 2.6 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.8 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Nordanstig kommun. Flottsjön ligger 6.4 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stensjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 17 m (56 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.
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 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 (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring brown trout on Stensjön hold shallow, usually 1 to 7.5 m. They move out to 5 to 17 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 11 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 7.5 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).
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 (4.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 5 to 17 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 | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 4.5 to 14 m. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 17 m, then a winter hold in 5 to 17 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 15 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.

| Vinter | 5 to 17 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (15 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 5 to 17 m. The depth story barely changes: 5 to 17 m through summer, 4.5 to 17 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 m range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and midday. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.

Stensjön is about 56 ft (17 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 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 6 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Open the map above to see every rated 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.
