21-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 14 m. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
På kartan täcker Norrtjärnen 8 hektar innanför 1.3 km strandlinje. Med index 1.2 är formen nära cirkelrund: läs botten, inte strandlinjen. Ungefär 26% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 0.5 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.3 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Skinnskatteberg kommun. Stora Mörttjärnen ligger 1.6 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Norrtjärnen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 14 m (45 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för gädda, abborre, öring med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 6 m, rated prime for summer 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Summer european perch concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 6 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 14 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 11 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 6 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 14 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4.5 to 14 m, winter 4.5 to 14 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 12 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.

| Vinter | 4.5 to 14 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 4.5 to 14 m covers summer, 3.5 to 14 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 12 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.

Norrtjärnen is about 45 ft (14 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 northern pike, european perch, brown trout, lake whitefish, burbot on Norrtjärnen. 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 38 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For northern pike, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
