Rating depth structure for northern pike.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
8-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 4.5 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vannet tegner ut 3 hektar med 1 km strand. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.6). Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Abbortjern, 3.2 km mot nord.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Kroktjern, Norge: omtrentlige dybdekoter ned til 5 m (15 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.
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 4.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1.5 to 4.5 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 4.5 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2 m. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.
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 | 0.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european perch on Kroktjern hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 4 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 1.5 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

| 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 | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 1.5 to 4.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1.5 to 4.5 m covers summer, 1.5 to 4.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

Start shallow in spring: arctic char sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1.5 to 4.5 m covers summer, 1 to 4.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4 m of water that rates prime for arctic char in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) until the fish tell you otherwise.

3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 4 m, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Norway waters are set by the Norwegian Environment Agency (fishing rules) — and special regulations can apply to Kroktjern specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Kroktjern is about 15 ft (5 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 Kroktjern. 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.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The interactive chart above rates every 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.
Fishing on Kroktjern 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.
