Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
97-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 4.5 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Västre Sjö mäter 39 hektar bakom 2.9 km strandlinje. Med index 1.3 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Hela sjön är grundare än ~5 m — vegetation och betesfisk från strand till strand. Räkna med 1 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.6 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Eksjö kommun. Hemsjön ligger 1.6 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Västre Sjö, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (14 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.
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 4.5 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 the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage 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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4.5 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 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4.5 m, wintering in 1 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. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.

| 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 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 0.5 to 4.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 4.5 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 0.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.

Västre Sjö is about 14 ft (4 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, roach on Västre Sjö. 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.
