1,444-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 17 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
På kartet dekker Eidsvatnet 583 hektar innenfor 12.9 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.5). Omtrent 24% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 4.7 km, på det bredeste 2.3 km. Vannet ligger i Overhalla kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Grungstadvatnet, 4.8 km mot nordøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Eidsvatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 17 m (56 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.
Spring brown trout on Eidsvatnet hold shallow, usually 1 to 7.5 m. They move out to 5 to 17 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 11 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 12 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).

| 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 | 5 to 17 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (12 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 (12 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (12 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 4.5 to 14 m. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 17 m, then a winter hold in 5 to 17 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 17 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.

| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 5 to 17 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 5 to 17 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for arctic char tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 17 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 12 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 17 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) is the honest summer answer here.

| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |

| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, atlantic salmon slide up into 1.5 to 9 m. By summer they slide out to 5 to 17 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 14 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 17 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly rigged through the warm months.

Eidsvatnet also holds european eel (2 to 8.5 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 17 m, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Norway waters are set by the Norwegian Environment Agency (fishing rules) — and special regulations can apply to Eidsvatnet specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Eidsvatnet is about 56 ft (17 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.
Eidsvatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 17 meter (56 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, atlantic salmon, european eel on Eidsvatnet. 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 weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each 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.
Fishing on Eidsvatnet is regulated by the Norwegian Environment Agency (fishing rules). Check the official Norway regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
