53-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 20 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 Garsjøen 21 hektar innenfor 4 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.4) — 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 1.3 km, på det bredeste 0.5 km. Vannet ligger i Nes kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Utsjøen, 4.8 km mot nordvest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Garsjøen, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 20 m (64 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.
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank 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. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 10 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering 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. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| 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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them 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. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 6 to 20 m game here, winter a 6 to 20 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 17 m, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
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 (10 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 20 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 | Break off the point (10 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 6 to 20 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season arctic char use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 6 to 18 m game here, winter a 3 to 12 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 17 m, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Break off the point (10 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 5.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 11 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Høst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |

Garsjøen is about 64 ft (20 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.
Garsjøen er på det dypeste omtrent 20 meter (64 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, roach on Garsjøen. 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 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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.
