708-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 90 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
På kartet dekker Gjønavatnet 286 hektar innenfor 14.3 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.4) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 3% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 6.4 km, på det bredeste 1 km. Vannet ligger i Fusa kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Vengsvatnet, 1.6 km mot sørvest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Gjønavatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 90 m (295 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. They move out to 7.5 to 18 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 9.5 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is 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 (9.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (9.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 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. The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a feeding flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. 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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (6.5 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 bay flat (6.5 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. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a feeding flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. 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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6.5 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. Expect a summer slide to 12 to 27 m, then a winter hold in 7.5 to 21 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 6.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Feeding flat (17 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (9.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (17 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season arctic char use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 18 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 12 m. Put Back-bay flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 2 m that grades good for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | open water | 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 | open water | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, european eel run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 6 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 5.5 to 15 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 6.5 m, rated prime for winter european eel. Time it for after dark and the evening.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | open water | |
| Høst | 3 to 12 m | night | open water | |
| Vinter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (6.5 m) |

Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a feeding flat in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
