558-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 18 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
På kartet dekker Oarddojávri 225 hektar innenfor 10.3 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.9). Omtrent 61% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 3.9 km, på det bredeste 1.9 km. Vannet ligger i Vadsø kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Tanafjord - Middle, 38.6 km mot vest.

Dybdekartet er modellberegnet fra innsjøens virkelige strandlinje og største dybde — bruk det som en veiledning, aldri til navigasjon.
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 5.5 to 18 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 11 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 16 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
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 (1 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 5.5 to 18 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Deep basin (16 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (4 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring lake whitefish on Oarddojávri hold shallow, usually 4.5 to 14 m. By summer they slide out to 5.5 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 5.5 to 18 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 16 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.

| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (4 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 5.5 to 18 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (16 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring arctic char on Oarddojávri hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 5.5 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 12 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 16 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt).

| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |

| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season atlantic salmon use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 9 m. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 18 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 14 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 16 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly and you're in the game.

Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, atlantic salmon on Oarddojávri. 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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.
