Rating depth structure for northern pike.

6,870-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 156 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
På kartet dekker Eikeren 2 774 hektar innenfor 42.5 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.3) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 0% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 16.1 km, på det bredeste 3.1 km. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Råtevann, 6.4 km mot vest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Eikeren, Norge: omtrentlige dybdekoter ned til 156 m (512 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.
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 7.5 to 18 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 11 m. Put Offshore hump first on the milk run — an offshore hump near 15 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Offshore hump (15 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| 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 | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| 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 |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 12 to 27 m game here, winter a 7.5 to 21 m one. Start at Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 15 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (14 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Offshore hump (15 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | open water | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (15 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, arctic char slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 6 to 18 m game here, winter a 3 to 12 m one. Start at Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 15 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Offshore hump (15 m) | 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 | Offshore hump (14 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, common bream slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 7.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 5.5 to 14 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Høst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Vinter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) |
Eikeren also holds european eel (2 to 8.5 m in summer), european smelt (7.5 to 21 m in summer), roach (1 to 5.5 m in summer), ide (1 to 6 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
11 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 133 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 Eikeren specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Eikeren is about 512 ft (156 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Eikeren er på det dypeste omtrent 156 meter (512 fot). Dybdekartet er modellberegnet fra innsjøens virkelige strandlinje — bruk det som veiledning, aldri til navigasjon.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, common bream, european eel, european smelt, roach, ide on Eikeren. 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.
Offshore hump is the top-rated area: an offshore hump in about 49 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Open the map above to see every rated 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 Eikeren 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.
