6,276-acre lake near Tärnaby. The lake tops out around 66 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Vattnet ritar ut 2 601 hektar med 48.6 km strand, uppbruten av 6 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.7) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 23% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 12.1 km, som bredast 4.5 km. Vattnet hör till Storuman kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Göuta, 9.7 km åt nordost.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 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.
| 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 | Offshore hump (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 12 m. Offshore hump is the standout, an offshore hump at roughly 8 m, rated prime for summer arctic char. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Gejmån inflow (2.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Offshore hump (8 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 27 m; cold water stacks them in 7.5 to 21 m. Offshore hump is the standout, an offshore hump at roughly 8 m, rated prime for winter lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (30 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Offshore hump (8 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 7.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 11 m. The spot to know is Gejmån inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in spring. 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Gejmån inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Gejmån inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Gejmån inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 m. Summer is a 15 to 37 m game here, winter a 6 to 24 m one. The chart's best answer is Offshore hump — offshore hump, 8 m, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (2 m) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | dawn | Break off the point (30 m) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Höst | 3 to 15 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Vinter | 6 to 24 m | dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
