288-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 10 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Vannet tegner ut 116 hektar med 9.3 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.5) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 68% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 3.5 km, på det bredeste 0.8 km. Vannet ligger i Rakkestad kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Skjeklesjøen, 6.4 km mot sørøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Ertevannet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 10 m (34 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.
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 10 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 6 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) 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 | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |

| Vinter | 1.5 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Ertevannet hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 3 to 10 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3 to 10 m, and winter fish hold in 3 to 10 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 10 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.

| Vår | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (6 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 3 to 10 m, wintering in 2.5 to 10 m. Summer arctic char concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 10 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.

Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 7.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 10 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 10 m of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Ertevannet also holds roach (1 to 5.5 m in summer), bleak (0.5 to 4.5 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 10 m.
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 Ertevannet specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Ertevannet is about 34 ft (10 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.
Ertevannet er på det dypeste omtrent 10 meter (34 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, common bream, roach, bleak on Ertevannet. 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 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Ertevannet 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.
