Rating depth structure for northern pike.

2,945-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 35 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Vannet tegner ut 1 189 hektar med 23.3 km strand. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.9). Omtrent 9% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 9.8 km, på det bredeste 2.9 km. Vannet ligger i Pohjois-Lapin seutukunta kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Tanafjord - Inner, 33.8 km mot nordøst.

Dybdekartet er modellberegnet fra innsjøens virkelige strandlinje og største dybde — bruk det som en veiledning, aldri til navigasjon.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 9.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 9.5 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 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. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — feeding flat, 2.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 9.5 m, rated prime for spring lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (23 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, arctic char run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 12 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 9.5 m, rated prime for summer arctic char. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts atlantic salmon in skinny water — 1.5 to 9 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 21 m, wintering in 3 to 14 m. Winter atlantic salmon concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 9.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A trolling spoon or a flasher + fly covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |
| Sommer | 6 to 21 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Trolling spoon, Flasher + fly |
| Høst | 1 to 8.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Casting spoon, Large streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 14 m | midday | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon |
