1,794-acre lake near Falun. The lake tops out around 26 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vattnet ritar ut 731 hektar med 20.3 km strand, uppbruten av 7 öar. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 2.1) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 46% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 4.2 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 3.5 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Falun kommun. Stångtjärnen ligger 3.2 km åt sydväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Varpan, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 26 m (85 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och lake. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | Deep basin (22 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 7.5 to 21 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 26 m before dropping to 4.5 to 18 m for winter. Summer burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 22 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 8 to 26 m | night & midday | Deep basin (22 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 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 |
Structure-wise the chart holds 8 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 22 m.
