7,067-acre lake near Valdemarsvik. The lake tops out around 75 m. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Yxningen mäter 2 857 hektar bakom 110.7 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 48 öar. Ett strandindex på 5.8 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 31% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 15.9 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 6.9 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Åtvidaberg kommun. Byngaren ligger 11.3 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Yxningen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 75 m (246 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, öring 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 | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (6 m) | 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 | Weed 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 |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 7.5 to 18 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 11 m one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 8.5 m, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, arctic char slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 6 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Offshore hump: an offshore hump around 6 m that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Offshore hump (6 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (6 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: landlocked salmon in 0.5 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 3 to 12 m for winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 8.5 m of water that rates prime for landlocked salmon in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | dawn | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 7.5 to 21 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 15 to 37 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 18 m. The spot to know is Offshore hump, an offshore hump in about 6 m of water that rates prime for burbot in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (64 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (6 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Count 13 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 64 m.
