932-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 23 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Vannet tegner ut 376 hektar med 16.6 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.4) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 17% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 6.3 km, på det bredeste 2.6 km. Vannet ligger i Lenvik kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Heggevatnet, 4.8 km mot sørvest.

In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 7.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 11 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 8.5 m, rated prime for summer brown trout. Time it for after dark and early morning. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european perch on Čáhppesjávri hold shallow, usually 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. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 8.5 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 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. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 2.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 23 m; cold water stacks them in 7.5 to 21 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 22 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 7 to 23 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (22 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (22 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: arctic char sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 8.5 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |

| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic salmon in 1.5 to 9 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 21 m before dropping to 3 to 14 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 22 m of water that rates prime for atlantic salmon in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly gets it done.
