509-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 27 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vattnet ritar ut 206 hektar med 10 km strand. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Cirka 55% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 2.7 km, som bredast 1.8 km. Vattnet hör till Norberg kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Gladtjärnen, 1.6 km åt nordost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ungen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 27 m (90 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre, öring med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
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 2 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 (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 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 3.5 to 10 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 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 (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (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 |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 7.5 to 18 m, wintering in 1.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 12 m range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (7 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 12 to 27 m before dropping to 7.5 to 21 m for winter. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 23 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (23 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (7 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (23 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring burbot on Ungen hold shallow, usually 7.5 to 21 m. They move out to 8 to 27 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 18 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 23 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (23 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 8 to 27 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (23 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (23 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (12 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Spring puts european smelt in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 7.5 to 21 m, wintering in 6 to 20 m. Summer european smelt concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 23 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | night & dusk | open water | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 21 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (23 m) | Tiny vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 4.5 to 17 m | dusk | Break off the point (12 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 20 m | dusk | Deep basin (23 m) | Tiny glow jig, Micro ice spoon |

Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For northern pike, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
