1,490-acre lake near Tingsryd. The lake tops out around 8.5 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Vattnet ritar ut 616 hektar med 40.2 km strand, uppbruten av 5 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 4.6) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 85% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 6.1 km, som bredast 2.7 km. Vattnet hör till Tingsryd kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Lilla Kroksjön, 3.2 km åt nordväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Tiken, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 9 m (28 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och gös. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in 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 (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8.5 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 4 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 5.5 m before dropping to 2.5 to 8.5 m for winter. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

| 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 | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (4 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring puts rudd in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 3.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 8.5 m. Spring rudd 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 surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.

Spring tench on Tiken hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 2.5 to 8.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.
