Fishing for european flounder — practise in real Swedish lakes

european flounder is documented in 1 Swedish lakes on provfiska. Open a lake below and the simulation starts with european flounder as the target — fish the water as it is right now, or turn time, season and weather.

Typical length: 23–30 cm · max 43 cmMost common depth: 6-11.9 mBest months: Apr, May, Jun, Jul, AugDocumented in: 1 lakes (1 survey-fished)

Where in the depth column is european flounder?

Share of the national survey catch per depth zone. The simulation uses the same distribution — fish the right depth and you hook more, and bigger.

Which method takes european flounder?

The simulation's technique selectivity — how readily the species takes a lure, a baited float or a vertical jig. The wrong method doesn't catch the wrong fish, just like in real life.

Jigging
Spinning
