4,033-acre Svärdsfjärden. North Sweden coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited mixed survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official SMHI SVAR 2022 named coastal water in Stockholm, Gotland and central Baltic. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 50 m. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Svärdsfjärden - North mäter 1 632 hektar bakom 46.2 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 25 öar. Ett strandindex på 3.2 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 15% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 11.1 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 4.2 km på bredden. Sörsjön ligger 6.4 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Svärdsfjärden — North, Sverige: källgranskade kustdjupkurvor (90 % direktmätt) ner till 50 m (164 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

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. Weed flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 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 | Weed flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (12 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 |
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 Weed flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 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.

| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (1 m) | Large jigging spoon |
In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 12 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 12 m, rated prime for fall zander. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline point (9 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (12 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (12 m) | Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: sea trout sit in 1 to 6 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 15 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 9 m. The spot to know is Rock reef, a rock pile in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |

| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Spring puts atlantic herring in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 15 m, wintering in 6 to 18 m. Summer atlantic herring concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 12 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |

| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Höst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (12 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (12 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
When the water first warms, european whitefish slide up into 3 to 12 m. By summer they slide out to 8.5 to 24 m, and by winter most fish are in 5.5 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 12 m that scores good in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small vertical spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

No Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management active bathing location matched within 400 metres of this exact mapped shoreline. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, local signs, parking, safety and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Svärdsfjärden - North specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Svenska Fiskeregler and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management immediately before every coastal trip. Area-specific closures, protected spawning areas, minimum and maximum sizes, gear restrictions and species prohibitions can change; recreational fishing for Baltic cod is prohibited during 2026. A mapped depth contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-site access lead never establishes permission to fish, retain catch, cross private land, park, launch or navigate safely.

Svärdsfjärden - North is about 164 ft (50 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.

Official coastal monitoring from Sweden national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european perch, northern pike, zander, sea trout, atlantic herring, european whitefish, european flounder, european smelt roster for Svärdsfjärden - North. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Svärdsfjärden - North is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
