610-acre lake near Falun. The lake tops out around 8 m. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Vattnet ritar ut 206 hektar med 10.8 km strand, uppbruten av 6 öar. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2.1) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 78% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 2.4 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.4 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Falun kommun. Önsbackdammen ligger 1.6 km åt norr — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 8 m before dropping to 2.5 to 8 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |

You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
