Rating depth structure for northern pike.

109-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
På kartet dekker Mosvatnet 44 hektar innenfor 3.1 km strandlinje. Bassenget er enkelt (strandindeks 1.3) — nesten en bolle, så dybdekurvene betyr mer enn stranden. Hele vannet er grunnere enn ~5 m — vegetasjon og byttefisk fra strand til strand. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 1 km, på det bredeste 0.6 km. Vannet ligger i Stavanger kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Hålandsvatnet, 4.8 km mot nordvest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Mosvatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 3 m (11 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.
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3.5 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 2 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.
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 3.5 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 | 1 to 3.5 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 | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3.5 m. Fall european perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 3.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Høst | 1 to 3.5 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 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 3.5 m, winter 1 to 3.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.

Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 3.5 m.
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 Mosvatnet specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Mosvatnet is about 11 ft (3 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.
Mosvatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 3 meter (11 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish on Mosvatnet. 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 11 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Mosvatnet 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.
