483-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 27 m. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
På kartet dekker Grimesundsvatnet 195 hektar innenfor 20.6 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 4.2) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 59% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 4.2 km, på det bredeste 1.9 km. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Lauvnesvatnet, 4.8 km mot sørøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Grimesundsvatnet, Norge: omtrentlige dybdekoter ned til 27 m (90 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 12 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 (7 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (7 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (12 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 2 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 (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 | Break off the point (12 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | 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 2 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 (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 |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 12 to 27 m game here, winter a 7.5 to 21 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 23 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.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (23 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (7 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 |
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 Break off the point — drop-off, 12 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 | Break off the point (12 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 | Break off the point (12 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |

Grimesundsvatnet is about 90 ft (27 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.

Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Grimesundsvatnet. 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 6 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.
