1,497-acre lake near Aneby. The lake tops out around 36 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vattnet ritar ut 605 hektar med 23 km strand, uppbruten av 7 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.6 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 45% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 5.8 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.6 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Jönköping kommun. Ramsjön ligger 4.8 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ylen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 36 m (119 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.
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| 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 | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| 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 |
Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 12 m. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 9 m, rated prime for fall zander. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (9 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 7.5 to 21 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 11 to 36 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 18 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 31 m of water that rates prime for burbot in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait 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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 11 to 36 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (31 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (31 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (9 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | open water | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season rudd use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 0.5 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 9 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.

| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |

| Höst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | open water | Micro jig |
