533-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 6 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vannet tegner ut 215 hektar med 6.8 km strand. Bassenget er enkelt (strandindeks 1.3) — nesten en bolle, så dybdekurvene betyr mer enn stranden. Omtrent 89% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 2.6 km, på det bredeste 1.3 km. Vannet ligger i Steinkjer kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Øysterdyen, 9.7 km mot øst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Lømsen, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 6 m (20 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 — 0.5 to 6 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 6 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 6 m. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. 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 | 0.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (1 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 2 to 6 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 6 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 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 |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 2 to 6 m. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 6 m through summer, 2 to 6 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 6 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

| Vår | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 1.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: arctic char in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 6 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 6 m of water that rates prime for arctic char in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) gets it done.

Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 2 to 6 m. Through summer count on 2 to 6 m; the winter hold is 1.5 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 6 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.

Lømsen also holds european eel (1 to 6 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Lømsen carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 6 m down.
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 Lømsen specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Lømsen is about 20 ft (6 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.
Lømsen er på det dypeste omtrent 6 meter (20 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, burbot, european eel on Lømsen. 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 20 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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 Lømsen 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.
