13,640-acre lake near Sorsele. The lake tops out around 32 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth.

På kartan täcker Storjuktan 5 442 hektar innanför 157.1 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 67 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 6) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 50% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 26.9 km, som bredast 6.9 km. Vattnet hör till Sorsele kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Tallträsket, 8 km åt öster.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is 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 | Sharp break (4 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (4 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. The spot to know is Smilabäcken inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in spring. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (15 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 0.5 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 9 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 6 m. Start at Smilabäcken inflow. It's an inflow / creek mouth holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Sommar | 3 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Höst | 0.5 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Vinter | 1 to 6 m | dawn | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Best bite is 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 | Sharp break (4 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. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 27 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (12 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (27 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (15 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, european grayling run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 7.5 m. Smilabäcken inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring european grayling. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a dry fly (caddis, terrestrial) or a nymph under an indicator most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small dry fly (midge, olive), Inline spinner #0-1 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Smilabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Dry fly (caddis, terrestrial), Nymph under an indicator |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Sharp break (4 m) | Weighted nymph, Small spoon (copper) |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4 m) | Tiny jig + maggot, Small mormyshka |
