Rating depth structure for northern pike.

29-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 4 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
På kartan täcker Vänsjösjön 12 hektar innanför 2.4 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Inget här går djupare än ~5 m: en enda stor grundzon med föda och skydd. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 1 km, som bredast 0.3 km. Vattnet hör till Kalmar kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Hemsjön, 0 km åt sydväst.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Vänsjösjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (13 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.
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 4 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 and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 4 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. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.

| Vinter | 1 to 4 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 0.5 to 4 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 4 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 4 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

In spring, common bream run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 4 m, and they winter in 1 to 4 m. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4 m before dropping to 1 to 4 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rudd in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 3.5 m, wintering in 1 to 4 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, common bream, roach, rudd on Vänsjösjön. 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
