3,237-acre lake near Mariestad. The lake tops out around 4.5 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
På kartan täcker Ymsen 1 278 hektar innanför 22.7 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 3 öar. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.8) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Hela sjön är grundare än ~5 m — vegetation och betesfisk från strand till strand. Räkna med 8 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 2.7 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Mariestad kommun. Viken ligger 17.7 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Ymsen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 4 m (14 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda och gös. 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 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 you'll meet the bite. 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 (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 1 to 4.5 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 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 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 and the evening. 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 (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1 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. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4.5 m covers summer, 1 to 4.5 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (0.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
