Rating depth structure for northern pike.

853-acre lake near Arvika. The lake tops out around 30 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Vattnet ritar ut 338 hektar med 14.2 km strand, med en ö i vattnet. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.2) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 38% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 5 km, som bredast 1.1 km. Vattnet hör till Arvika kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Åstjärnet, 1.6 km åt norr.

Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank 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. 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 and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding 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. 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. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| 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 | Break off the point (13 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 7.5 to 21 m. They move out to 9 to 30 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 25 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (13 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 9 to 30 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (25 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (25 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (13 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 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. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.
| 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 | Main-lake point (7.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (13 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
When the water first warms, ruffe slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 3 to 9 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 13 m that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a micro jig rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | open water | Tiny bottom jig |
| Sommar | 3 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Micro jig |
| Höst | 3.5 to 11 m | dusk | Break off the point (13 m) | Tiny jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 12 m | dusk | Break off the point (13 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Come spring, look for vendace tight to the bank 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. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 13 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 (13 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 | Break off the point (13 m) | Tiny ice spoon, Tungsten mormyshka |
