35-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Vannet tegner ut 14 hektar med 2.3 km strand. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.7). Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 0.6 km, på det bredeste 0.3 km. Vannet ligger i Time kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Stokkalandsvatnet, 12.9 km mot nord.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Smukkevatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 5 m (16 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.
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 5 m. Summer keeps them at 1.5 to 5 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 5 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for summer brown trout. Time it for after dark and early morning. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.
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 | 0.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring european perch on Smukkevatnet hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1.5 to 5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 5 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 4 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1.5 to 5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 1.5 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 1.5 to 5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1.5 to 5 m covers summer, 1.5 to 5 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for european eel tight to the bank in 1 to 5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 5 m; the winter hold is 1.5 to 5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 4 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.

Structure-wise the chart holds 4 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 4 m.

Smukkevatnet is about 16 ft (5 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.
Smukkevatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 5 meter (16 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, european eel on Smukkevatnet. 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 13 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
