682-acre lake near Möklinta. The lake tops out around 7.5 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Storljusen mäter 274 hektar bakom 13.2 km strandlinje, med en ö i vattnet. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.2) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 82% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 2.4 km, som bredast 2.3 km. Vattnet hör till Sala kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Stora Hundsjön, 3.2 km åt söder.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 7.5 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. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
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 | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 5.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 7.5 m. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season ruffe use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 7.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 6.5 m, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a micro jig and you're in the game.
