Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
20-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 4 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Vattnet ritar ut 8 hektar med 1.1 km strand. Med index 1.1 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Hela sjön är grundare än ~5 m — vegetation och betesfisk från strand till strand. Räkna med 0.5 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Falkenberg kommun. Södra Välasjö ligger 1.6 km åt väster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stora Bälgsjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (13 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 4 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4 m before dropping to 1 to 4 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring brown trout on Stora Bälgsjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 4 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 4 m in summer, 0.5 to 4 m once it turns cold. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 2 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).

Stora Bälgsjön is about 13 ft (4 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout on Stora Bälgsjön. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For northern pike, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
