640-acre lake near Hindås. The lake tops out around 42 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vattnet ritar ut 258 hektar med 16.9 km strand, uppbruten av 5 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 34% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 4.3 km, som bredast 1.4 km. Vattnet hör till Härryda kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Blomman, 1.6 km åt öster.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stora Härsjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 42 m (139 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, öring med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 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 bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 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 |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 7.5 to 18 m, wintering in 1.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Mörkbäcken inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Mörkbäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (19 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Mörkbäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Mörkbäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 5.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 11 m for winter. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.
| 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 | open water | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | open water | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring tench on Stora Härsjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 9 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommar | 1 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday | open water | |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | open water |
Early season vendace use the shallows, holding in 2.5 to 9 m. Expect a summer slide to 7.5 to 20 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 15 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 19 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Micro silver spoon, Tiny white jig |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 20 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 m) | Micro jig fished vertically, Tiny flutter spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Tiny silver spoon, Micro mormyshka |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | open water | Tiny ice spoon, Tungsten mormyshka |
