6,987-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 376 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 2 821 hektar med 73.4 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 3.9) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 0% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 26.6 km, på det bredeste 4 km. Vannet ligger i Suldal kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Grimsvatnet, 8 km mot vest.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Suldalsvatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 376 m (1234 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. Summer pushes them deeper, 7.5 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 11 m. The spot to know is Offshore hump, an offshore hump in about 10 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.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | 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 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Offshore hump: an offshore hump around 10 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 | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Suldalsvatnet 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 Shallow bay flat — feeding flat, 7.5 m, good for summer. 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 | Shallow bay flat (7.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | open water | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 27 m; cold water stacks them in 7.5 to 21 m. Offshore hump is the standout, an offshore hump at roughly 24 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.

| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Offshore hump (24 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Offshore hump (10 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 12 m. Offshore hump is the standout, an offshore hump at roughly 10 m, rated prime for summer arctic char. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Offshore hump (10 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, atlantic salmon run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 9 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 21 m before dropping to 3 to 14 m for winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |
| Sommer | 6 to 21 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Trolling spoon, Flasher + fly |
| Høst | 1 to 8.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Large streamer |

Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char, atlantic salmon on Suldalsvatnet. 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.
Offshore hump is the top-rated area: an offshore hump in about 80 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. 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.
