567-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 12 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
På kartet dekker Råsen 229 hektar innenfor 11.4 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 2.1). Omtrent 46% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 3.2 km, på det bredeste 1.3 km. Vannet ligger i Nord-Odal kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Nordre Holsjøen, 8 km mot vest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Råsen, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 12 m (38 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.
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3.5 to 12 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.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
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. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| 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 (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 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 (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
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. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring 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.
| 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 (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (2.5 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 |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 3.5 to 12 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3.5 to 12 m, winter 3.5 to 12 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 11 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.

| Vår | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |

| Vinter | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, arctic char slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 3.5 to 12 m game here, winter a 3 to 12 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 11 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 3.5 to 12 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 3.5 to 12 m covers summer, 3 to 12 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 11 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.

Råsen is about 38 ft (12 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.
Råsen er på det dypeste omtrent 12 meter (38 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, burbot, common bream, roach, bleak, ide on Råsen. 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 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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 Råsen 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.
