45,220-acre lake near Arjeplog. The lake tops out around 21 m. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Storavan mäter 17 335 hektar bakom 286.6 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 70 öar. Ett strandindex på 6.1 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 64% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 36 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 16.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Arjeplog kommun. Naustajaure ligger 12.9 km åt sydväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. 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. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring lake whitefish on Storavan hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 14 m. They move out to 6.5 to 21 m in summer and finish the year down in 6.5 to 21 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 18 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.

| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 6.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (18 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. 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. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 (2.5 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 |
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 7.5 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Välbma inflow: an inflow / creek mouth around 2 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Välbma inflow (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Välbma inflow (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Välbma inflow (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european grayling on Storavan hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 7.5 m. Put Välbma inflow first on the milk run — an inflow / creek mouth near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a dry fly (caddis, terrestrial) or a nymph under an indicator.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Välbma inflow (2 m) | Small dry fly (midge, olive), Inline spinner #0-1 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Välbma inflow (2 m) | Dry fly (caddis, terrestrial), Nymph under an indicator |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Sharp break (2.5 m) | Weighted nymph, Small spoon (copper) |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (2.5 m) | Tiny jig + maggot, Small mormyshka |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 6.5 to 21 m. Summer keeps them at 6.5 to 21 m, and they winter in 4.5 to 18 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 18 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 6.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 6.5 to 21 m | night & midday | Deep basin (18 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 6.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Structure-wise the chart holds 30 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 18 m.
