Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
11-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 6 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
På kartan täcker Stora Gäddevattenstjärn 4 hektar innanför 1 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.3) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Cirka 90% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.5 km. Vattnet hör till Tanum kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Mörtevattnet, 0 km åt söder.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stora Gäddevattenstjärn, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 6 m (19 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 Stora Gäddevattenstjärn hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
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 | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 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 1.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. 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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 0.5 to 6 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 6 m covers summer, 1 to 6 m covers winter. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 2.5 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Shoreline break (2.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Shoreline break (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 2 to 6 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 6 m, and winter fish hold in 2 to 6 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 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 | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (2.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 2 to 6 m. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 6 m; winter keeps them in 1.5 to 6 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 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.
