7,512-acre lake near Gäddede. The lake tops out around 33 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vattnet ritar ut 3 004 hektar med 66.5 km strand, uppbruten av 16 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3.4) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 44% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 12.6 km, som bredast 5.5 km. Vattnet hör till Strömsund kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Nedre Härbergsvattnet, 19.3 km åt nordväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stor-Sjouten, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 33 m (108 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för röding och öring. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Start shallow in spring: arctic char sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 15 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Break off the point (15 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (15 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 7.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 11 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 15 m, rated prime for summer brown trout. Time it for after dark and early morning. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.

| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (15 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (15 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
