Rating depth structure for zander.

219-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 2 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Virkesjön mäter 88 hektar bakom 5 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.5) — 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 2.1 km, som bredast 0.8 km. Vattnet hör till Nybro kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Skärsjön, 3.2 km åt sydost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Virkesjön, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 2 m (7 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.
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 2 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 and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.

| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 2 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. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 0.5 to 2 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2 m through summer, 0.5 to 2 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 1 m range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 0.5 to 2 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2 m through summer, 0.5 to 2 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 2 m of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2 m. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

Spring tench on Virkesjön hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 0.5 to 2 m in summer, 0.5 to 2 m once it turns cold. 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.

Virkesjön also holds zander (0.5 to 2 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Virkesjön carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Main-lake point, about 2 m down.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Virkesjön specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Virkesjön is about 7 ft (2 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, common bream, roach, tench, zander on Virkesjön. 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. Open the map above to see every rated 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.
Fishing on Virkesjön is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official Swedish rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
