Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
15-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 2.5 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
På kartan täcker Vakåsasjön 6 hektar innanför 1.3 km strandlinje. Bassängen är enkel (strandindex 1.4) — nästan en skål, så djupkurvorna betyder mer än stranden. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 0.5 km. Vattnet hör till Sävsjö kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Skallebygda sjö, 1.6 km åt sydost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Vakåsasjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 2 m (8 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre och öring. 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. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2.5 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 1 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2.5 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 2.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 2 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2.5 m through summer, 0.5 to 2.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 1 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.

Come spring, look for crucian carp tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2.5 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 2.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 1 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Spring tench on Vakåsasjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 0.5 to 2.5 m in summer, 0.5 to 2.5 m once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 2 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Vakåsasjön is about 8 ft (2 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, crucian carp, tench on Vakåsasjön. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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.
