1,248-acre lake near Bodafors. The lake tops out around 15 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vattnet ritar ut 508 hektar med 17.5 km strand, med en ö i vattnet. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.2) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 58% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 4.5 km, som bredast 2.1 km. Vattnet hör till Nässjö kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Lillesjön, 1.6 km åt nordost.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank 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. 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. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding 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. 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 and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| 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 |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 4.5 to 15 m for winter. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 12 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 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. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season vendace use the shallows, holding in 2.5 to 9 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 15 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 15 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 12 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon and you're in the game.
