112-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 12 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
På kartet dekker Hoensvannet 45 hektar innenfor 7.9 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 3.3) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 93% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 1.3 km, på det bredeste 1 km. Vannet ligger i Øvre Eiker kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Himsjø, 1.6 km mot sørøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Hoensvannet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 12 m (39 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.
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3.5 to 12 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 11 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 8.5 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.
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 | Secondary point (1 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (1 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Fall european perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 8.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 3.5 to 12 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3.5 to 12 m, winter 3.5 to 12 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 8.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.

When the water first warms, arctic char slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 3.5 to 12 m game here, winter a 3 to 12 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 8.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) rigged through the warm months.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european eel in 1.5 to 6 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 12 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 8.5 m of water that rates prime for european eel in winter. Plan around after dark and the evening in the warm months.

Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 28 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
