12,874-acre lake near Sorsele. The lake tops out around 36 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vattnet ritar ut 5 356 hektar med 125 km strand, uppbruten av 18 öar. Ett strandindex på 4.8 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 51% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 34.4 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 6.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Sorsele kommun. Giertsjaure ligger 14.5 km åt norr — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Storvindeln, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 36 m (118 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, harr med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| 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 (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring northern pike 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 bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| 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 |
Come spring, look for european grayling tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 7.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Låktabäcken inflow: an inflow / creek mouth around 2.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A dry fly (caddis, terrestrial) or a nymph under an indicator is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Låktabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small dry fly (midge, olive), Inline spinner #0-1 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Låktabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Dry fly (caddis, terrestrial), Nymph under an indicator |
| Höst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Låktabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Weighted nymph, Small spoon (copper) |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4 m) | Tiny jig + maggot, Small mormyshka |
Come spring, look for arctic char tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 6 to 18 m in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 3 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Låktabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Break off the point (16 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (3 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 4.5 to 14 m. They move out to 12 to 27 m in summer and finish the year down in 7.5 to 21 m. If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 3 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (7 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (16 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (3 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (16 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring brown trout on Storvindeln hold shallow, usually 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 7.5 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 11 m. The chart's best answer is Låktabäcken inflow — inflow / creek mouth, 2.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Låktabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Låktabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Låktabäcken inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
