37-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 52 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Stora Fjärsjön maps at 37 acres behind 1.3 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 50% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.

Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 6 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 28 ft, then a winter hold in 12 to 33 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 6 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 10 to 33 ft | midday | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 16 to 52 ft, wintering in 5 to 35 ft. Summer brown trout concentrate at Shoreline break, a prime-rated drop-off around 23 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 16 to 52 ft | night & dawn | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 15 to 45 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 16 to 52 ft before dropping to 16 to 52 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 44 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 16 to 52 ft | dawn | Deep basin (44 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Shoreline break (23 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 16 to 52 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (44 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 16 to 52 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 16 to 52 ft, winter 13 to 52 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 44 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 16 to 52 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (44 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 16 to 52 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (44 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 16 to 52 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (44 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 13 to 52 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (44 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
