Fishing Aurstjønn: what the data says
32-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 82 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Aurstjønn maps at 32 acres behind 1 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 17% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone.

Brown Trout fishing at Aurstjønn
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 25 to 60 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 35 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 55 ft, rated prime for summer brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
