3,408-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 18 m. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vannet tegner ut 1 376 hektar med 44.3 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 3.4) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 54% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 11.6 km, på det bredeste 2.7 km. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Veslekrækkja, 4.8 km mot nord.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Halnefjorden, Norge: omtrentlige dybdekoter ned til 18 m (59 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.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 5.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 8 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 5.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | Break off the point (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| 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 | Sharp break (2.5 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 |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 5.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 5.5 to 18 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 15 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 5.5 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (15 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (1 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 5.5 to 18 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (15 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, arctic char run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 5.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 12 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 15 m, rated prime for summer arctic char. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (2 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 5.5 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (15 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Break off the point (8 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
11 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 15 m, is the deepest of them.

Halnefjorden is about 59 ft (18 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 Halnefjorden. 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.
Fishing on Halnefjorden 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.
