19,490-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 234 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 7 863 hektar med 144.2 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 4.6) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 0% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 35.2 km, på det bredeste 5.6 km. Vannet ligger i Nissedal kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Fyresvatnet, 19.3 km mot vest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Nisser, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 234 m (768 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.
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. Start at Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 11 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Back-bay flat (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Nisser hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 2.5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| 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 | Shoreline point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shoreline point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 12 to 27 m, wintering in 7.5 to 21 m. Fall lake whitefish concentrate at Rock reef, a prime-rated rock pile around 3.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 18 m, wintering in 3 to 12 m. Summer arctic char concentrate at Offshore hump, a prime-rated offshore hump around 11 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Count 11 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 232 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 Nisser specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Nisser is about 768 ft (234 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.
Nisser er på det dypeste omtrent 234 meter (768 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Nisser. 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.
Rock reef is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 11 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish 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 Nisser 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.
