Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stora Nätaren, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 17 m (55 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 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 (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Stora Nätaren hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 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, 2 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.

When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 11 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7.5 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 5 to 17 m. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 17 m; winter keeps them in 4.5 to 17 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 14 m, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 11 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

In spring, rudd run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring rudd. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.
