859-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 72 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 Holsavatnet 347 hektar innenfor 17.2 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.6) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 10% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 6.1 km, på det bredeste 1.8 km. Vannet ligger i Førde kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Movatnet, 8 km mot vest.

Dybdekartet er modellberegnet fra innsjøens virkelige strandlinje og største dybde — bruk det som en veiledning, aldri til navigasjon.
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 7.5 to 18 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 11 m one. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (6 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 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 | Feeding flat (9.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring lake whitefish on Holsavatnet hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 14 m. By summer they slide out to 12 to 27 m, and by winter most fish are in 7.5 to 21 m. The chart's best answer is Feeding flat — feeding flat, 9.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.

Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Holsavatnet. 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 feeding flat in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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.
