30-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 8 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Vannet tegner ut 12 hektar med 1.9 km strand. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.6). Omtrent 59% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 0.6 km, på det bredeste 0.3 km. Vannet ligger i Bergen kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Gaupåsvatnet, 1.6 km mot sørøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Hetlebakkstemma, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 8 m (26 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.
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 8 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 5.5 m, rated prime for summer brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
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 | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 8 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 8 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 8 m, prime for fall. Best bite is 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 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 5.5 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is 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 | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 2.5 to 8 m. The depth story barely changes: 2.5 to 8 m through summer, 2.5 to 8 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 8 m range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
