644-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 130 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vannet tegner ut 260 hektar med 16.1 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.8) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 0% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 4.8 km, på det bredeste 1.9 km. Vannet ligger i Fusa kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Skjelbreidvatnet, 4.8 km mot nord.

Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 7.5 to 18 m, wintering in 1.5 to 11 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 10 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (10 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (10 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 7.5 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (7.5 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 (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 7.5 m of water and rates good come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (7.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | open water | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 4.5 to 14 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 12 to 27 m before dropping to 7.5 to 21 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in about 7.5 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (7.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Back-bay flat (10 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (10 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: arctic char in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 18 m before dropping to 3 to 12 m for winter. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) gets it done.
| 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 | 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 |
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 6 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 9 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 12 m one. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 10 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.

Main-lake point is the top-rated area: a point in about 32 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in fall. 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.
