Fishing for european whitefish — practise in real Swedish lakes

european whitefish is documented in 4660 Swedish lakes on provfiska. Open a lake below and the simulation starts with european whitefish as the target — fish the water as it is right now, or turn time, season and weather.

Typical length: 22–36 cm · max 69 cmMost common depth: 6-11.9 mBest months: Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, FebDocumented in: 4660 lakes (398 survey-fished)

Where in the depth column is european whitefish?

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 whitefish?

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.
