1,226-acre lake near Kolsva. The lake tops out around 5.5 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Västlandasjön mäter 511 hektar bakom 13.4 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 4 öar. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 90% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 3.1 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.6 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Arboga kommun. Rölen ligger 3.2 km åt norr — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Västlandasjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 5 m (18 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös med flera. 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. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1.5 to 5.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 5.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 5.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 1.5 to 5.5 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 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 bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5.5 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2.5 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Vinter | 1.5 to 5.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 5.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1.5 to 5.5 m, and they winter in 1.5 to 5.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4.5 m, rated prime for spring burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

Spring roach on Västlandasjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 5.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.

Start shallow in spring: ruffe sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1.5 to 5.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 5.5 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4.5 m of water that rates prime for ruffe in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
