6-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 8 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Vannet tegner ut 2 hektar med 0.6 km strand. Bassenget er enkelt (strandindeks 1.2) — nesten en bolle, så dybdekurvene betyr mer enn stranden. Omtrent 67% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Vannet ligger i Bergen kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Langevatnet, Munkebotn, 0 km mot nordvest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Munkebotsvatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 8 m (26 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 2.5 to 8 m before dropping to 1 to 8 m for winter. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 4.5 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.
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 | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european perch on Munkebotsvatnet hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2 to 8 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 8 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 7.5 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 (4.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7.5 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 Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 4.5 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 2.5 to 8 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2.5 to 8 m covers summer, 2.5 to 8 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 7.5 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.

Munkebotsvatnet is about 26 ft (8 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.
Munkebotsvatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 8 meter (26 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish on Munkebotsvatnet. 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 25 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
