13,387-acre Väderöfjorden 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 West Coast and Kattegat. 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 119 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Vattnet ritar ut 5 417 hektar med 93.8 km strand, uppbruten av 129 öar. Ett strandindex på 3.6 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 3% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 10 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 9.8 km på bredden. N Bohusläns skärgårds S kustvatten - South ligger 6.4 km åt väster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Väderöfjorden, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 119 m (391 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för havsöring, sill och strömming, makrill 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, sea trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 6 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 15 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 9 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | open water | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 1.5 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 15 m, wintering in 6 to 18 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Höst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | open water | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
When the water first warms, atlantic mackerel slide up into 1.5 to 14 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 24 m, and by winter most fish are in 9 to 37 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline point: a point around 21 m that scores good in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a feather rig or a small vertical jig rigged through the warm months.

| Vinter | 9 to 37 m | midday | open water | Small deep jig |
In spring, garfish run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 18 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly most summer days.

When the water first warms, european flounder slide up into 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 11 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 15 m. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bottom jig with spinner blade rigged through the warm months.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european plaice in 2.5 to 11 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 12 m before dropping to 7.5 to 24 m for winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace gets it done.

Väderöfjorden also holds saithe (coalfish) (7.5 to 79 m in summer), atlantic cod (14 to 55 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Structure-wise the chart holds 8 features, led in depth by Deepest basin at roughly 119 m.
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 Väderöfjorden 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.

Väderöfjorden is about 391 ft (119 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.
Väderöfjorden är som djupast cirka 119 meter (391 fot). Djupen kommer från verkliga lodningar.
Official coastal monitoring from Sweden national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the sea trout, atlantic herring, atlantic mackerel, garfish, european flounder, european plaice, saithe (coalfish), atlantic cod roster for Väderöfjorden. 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.
Shoreline point is the top-rated area: a point in about 68 ft of water that rates good for atlantic mackerel in summer. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For sea trout, 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.
Fishing on Väderöfjorden 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.
