776-acre lake near Kopparberg. The lake tops out around 28 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
På kartan täcker Stora Avlången 317 hektar innanför 16.1 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 2 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.6 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 39% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 3.4 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Ljusnarsberg kommun. Kälktjärnen ligger 3.2 km åt söder — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| 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 (12 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 7.5 to 21 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8.5 to 28 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 18 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 24 m of water that rates prime for burbot in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait 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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (24 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 8.5 to 28 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (24 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (24 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (12 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 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 and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (7 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (12 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
