7-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 7.5 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 3 hektar med 1 km strand. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.6). Omtrent 93% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Vannet ligger i Hole kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Bønnerudtjern, 0 km mot sør.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Retthelltjernet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 7 m (24 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. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 7.5 m covers summer, 1 to 7.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 7.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 7.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 6 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Retthelltjernet hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 2.5 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in 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 | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 2 to 7.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 7.5 m, and winter fish hold in 2 to 7.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 6 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.

Retthelltjernet is about 24 ft (7 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.
Retthelltjernet er på det dypeste omtrent 7 meter (24 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish on Retthelltjernet. 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 19 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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.
