4,067-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 201 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vannet tegner ut 1 641 hektar med 44.9 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 3.1) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 2% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 15.1 km, på det bredeste 3.1 km. Vannet ligger i Kviteseid kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Vråvatn, 16.1 km mot vest.

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 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. Summer brown trout concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 11 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.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Sharp break (11 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Sharp break (11 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european perch on Kviteseidvatnet hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Feeding flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. 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 | Feeding flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Offshore hump (9 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (9 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 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Feeding flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. 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 | Feeding flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Feeding flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. The spot to know is Offshore hump, an offshore hump in about 13 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (13 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Offshore hump (13 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |

| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (13 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: arctic char sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 12 m. The spot to know is Offshore hump, an offshore hump in about 13 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.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Rock reef (2 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |

| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (9 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic salmon in 1.5 to 9 m. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 21 m, wintering in 3 to 14 m. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 11 m range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly gets it done.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (10 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |
| Sommer | 6 to 21 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (11 m) | Trolling spoon, Flasher + fly |
| Høst | 1 to 8.5 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (10 m) | Casting spoon, Large streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 14 m | midday | Sharp break (11 m) | Slow coastal spoon |

Kviteseidvatnet is about 659 ft (201 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Kviteseidvatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 201 meter (659 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, atlantic salmon, crucian carp, european eel on Kviteseidvatnet. 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.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 35 ft of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. 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.
