2,607-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 83 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vannet tegner ut 1 053 hektar med 23.3 km strand. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 2). Omtrent 2% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 7.9 km, på det bredeste 2.6 km. Vannet ligger i Skaun kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Gaustadvatnet, 6.4 km mot sør.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Ånøya, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 83 m (272 fot), og de beste fiskeplassene for ørret, abbor, gjedde med flere. Dybdekartet er modellberegnet fra innsjøens virkelige strandlinje og største dybde — bruk det som en veiledning, aldri til navigasjon.
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 7.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 11 m. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 6 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Shoreline point (7.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 4.5 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Ånøya hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — feeding flat, 4.5 m, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline point (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 27 m; cold water stacks them in 7.5 to 21 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 28 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (5.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (28 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (6 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (20 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 12 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 4.5 m, rated good for spring arctic char. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | open water | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | open water | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring european eel on Ånøya hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 6 m. They move out to 2 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 5.5 to 15 m. Put Back-bay flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 5.5 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | open water | |
| Høst | 3 to 12 m | night | open water | |
| Vinter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Back-bay flat (5.5 m) |

Ånøya is about 272 ft (83 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.

Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, european eel on Ånøya. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a feeding flat in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in winter. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For brown trout, the summer bite is best in after dark and early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
