3,566-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 27 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.
På kartet dekker Fjergen 1 440 hektar innenfor 36.2 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.7) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 25% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 9.2 km, på det bredeste 4.7 km. Vannet ligger i Meråker kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Medstugusjön, 20.9 km mot nordøst.

Dybdekartet er modellberegnet fra innsjøens virkelige strandlinje og største dybde — bruk det som en veiledning, aldri til navigasjon.
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 7.5 to 18 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 11 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 17 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (17 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | Shallow feeding flat (3.5 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 | Shallow feeding flat (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 | Shallow feeding flat (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring lake whitefish on Fjergen hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 14 m. By summer they slide out to 8 to 27 m, and by winter most fish are in 7.5 to 21 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 23 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.
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 | Shallow feeding flat (6.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 8 to 27 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (23 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (23 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring arctic char on Fjergen hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 6 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 12 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 17 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt).
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (3.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Break off the point (17 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
12 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 23 m, is the deepest of them.

Fjergen is about 88 ft (27 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.
Fjergen er på det dypeste omtrent 27 meter (88 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Fjergen. 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. 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 Fjergen 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.
