1,324-acre lake near Svärdsjö. The lake tops out around 17 m. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Svärdsjön 543 hektar innanför 33.5 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 5 öar. Ett strandindex på 4 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 61% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 6.3 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.7 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Falun kommun. Hunsen ligger 4.8 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| 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 (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| 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 |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 5 to 17 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 17 m covers summer, 4.5 to 17 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 5.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 11 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |

| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (8 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, ruffe run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 9 m before dropping to 4.5 to 12 m for winter. Fall ruffe concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 8 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a micro jig most summer days.

| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Creek inflow (2 m) | Tiny bottom jig |

Spring puts vendace in skinny water — 2.5 to 9 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 17 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 15 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 15 m, rated prime for summer vendace. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon covers the summer program.
