91,300-acre lake near Hamar. The lake tops out around 453 m. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vannet tegner ut 36 402 hektar med 370.1 km strand, brutt opp av 36 øyer. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 5.5) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 14% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 90 km, på det bredeste 22.2 km. Vannet ligger i Ringsaker kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Einavatnet, 24.1 km mot sørvest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Mjøsa, Norge: omtrentlige dybdekoter ned til 453 m (1486 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 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. Spring brown trout concentrate at Svartelva inflow, a prime-rated inflow / creek mouth around 2.5 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 | Svartelva inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Steep shore break (9 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Svartelva inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Svartelva inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european perch on Mjøsa 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 Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Steep shore break (9 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Steep shore break (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Steep shore break (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 Shallow bay flat. It's a weed 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay 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 Steep shore break, a drop-off in about 9 m of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Steep shore break (9 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Steep shore break (9 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Steep shore break (9 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Steep shore break (9 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: european grayling sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 7.5 m. The spot to know is Svartelva inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for european grayling in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a dry fly (caddis, terrestrial) or a nymph under an indicator until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Svartelva inflow (2.5 m) | Small dry fly (midge, olive), Inline spinner #0-1 |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Svartelva inflow (2.5 m) | Dry fly (caddis, terrestrial), Nymph under an indicator |
| Høst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Svartelva inflow (2.5 m) | Weighted nymph, Small spoon (copper) |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 7.5 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (385 m) | Tiny jig + maggot, Small mormyshka |
Mjøsa carries 29 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 385 m down.

Mjøsa is about 1486 ft (453 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, european grayling on Mjøsa.
Svartelva inflow is the top-rated area: an inflow / creek mouth in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for brown trout in spring. 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.
