58-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 10 m. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Stor-Öratjärnen mäter 23 hektar bakom 2.4 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.4) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Cirka 66% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 1.1 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Ockelbo kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Liss-Öratjärnen, 1.6 km åt sydost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stor-Öratjärnen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 10 m (33 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 Stor-Öratjärnen hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 4.5 m, prime for fall. 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 | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 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. 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 Deep basin: a deep basin around 8.5 m that scores prime in fall. 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 | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 10 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 4.5 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.
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 (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 3 to 10 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3 to 10 m, and winter fish hold in 3 to 10 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 8.5 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 3 to 10 m. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 10 m; winter keeps them in 2.5 to 10 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 8.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 10 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 10 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 8.5 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.
