845-acre lake near Österbybruk. The lake tops out around 3 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Stordammen mäter 301 hektar bakom 17.9 km strandlinje, med en ö i vattnet. Ett strandindex på 2.9 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Hela sjön är grundare än ~5 m — vegetation och betesfisk från strand till strand. Räkna med 3.7 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Östhammar kommun. Lillsjön ligger 1.6 km åt söder — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Stordammen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 3 m (10 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda och abborre. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 3 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 3 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3 m through summer, 1 to 3 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 3 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is 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 (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |

When the water first warms, rudd slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 3 m game here, winter a 1 to 3 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon rigged through the warm months.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: ruffe in 0.5 to 3 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3 m through summer, 1 to 3 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for ruffe in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a micro jig gets it done.
