8,476-acre lake near Arvika. The lake tops out around 67 m. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Stora Gla mäter 3 420 hektar bakom 101.5 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 46 öar. Ett strandindex på 4.9 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 25% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 10.5 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 6.8 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Arvika kommun. Bjursjön ligger 3.2 km åt söder — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| 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 | Sharp break (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 7.5 to 21 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 15 to 37 m, wintering in 4.5 to 18 m. Winter burbot concentrate at Offshore hump, a prime-rated offshore hump around 6 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Break off the point (30 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (6 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 14 m. Expect a summer slide to 12 to 27 m, then a winter hold in 7.5 to 21 m. Put Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 3 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.

| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (6 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 5.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 11 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |

| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Sharp break (3 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Sharp break (3 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: ruffe in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 3 to 9 m, wintering in 4.5 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 3 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a micro jig gets it done.

| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Sharp break (3 m) | Tiny bottom jig |
