588-acre lake near Hofors. The lake tops out around 22 m. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Stor-Gösken mäter 240 hektar bakom 11.1 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 47% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 3.9 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Hofors kommun. Lill-Gösken ligger 3.2 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stor-Gösken, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 22 m (72 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gös, gädda, abborre med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 12 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 10 m, rated prime for fall zander. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (5.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (10 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 7.5 to 21 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 6.5 to 22 m before dropping to 4.5 to 18 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 19 m of water that rates prime for burbot in spring. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.
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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (19 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (19 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (19 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (19 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
