Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Shared by DepthScout anglers. Exact spots stay private, always.
19,495-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 44 m. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Värmeln mäter 7 871 hektar bakom 162.2 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 5.2) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 38% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 32.3 km, som bredast 11.7 km. Vattnet hör till Grums kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Rommen, 1.6 km åt väster.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Värmeln, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 44 m (144 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.
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | Sharp break (6 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 |
Spring european perch on Värmeln hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| 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 | Sharp break (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. Winter brown trout concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 6 m. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (1.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (20 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Sharp break (6 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 6 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (6 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommar | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (20 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (20 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 7.5 to 21 m. By summer they slide out to 15 to 37 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 37 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (20 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (37 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (20 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |

Anglers target northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Värmeln. 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 6 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. The interactive chart above rates every 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.
