Brown Trout fishing at Bjørheimsvatnet
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 25 to 60 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 35 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Secondary point: a point around 29 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (29 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.

The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
