174-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 58 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartet dekker Svartavatnet 70 hektar innenfor 5.1 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.8). Omtrent 16% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 1.8 km, på det bredeste 0.8 km. Vannet ligger i Aurland kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Låghellervatnet, 6.4 km mot sør.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Svartavatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 58 m (190 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. Summer is a 7.5 to 18 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 11 m one. The chart's best answer is Secondary point — point, 4 m, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (4 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Secondary point (4 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (4 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Back-bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 3 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. 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 | Back-bay flat (3 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (5.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Winter northern pike concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 3 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. 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 | Back-bay flat (3 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (5.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (4 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (3 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. By summer they slide out to 12 to 27 m, and by winter most fish are in 7.5 to 21 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 5.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (31 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Secondary point (4 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5.5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, arctic char slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 6 to 18 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Back-bay flat: a feeding flat around 3 m that scores good in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (3 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | open water | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | open water | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 57 m.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Norway waters are set by the Norwegian Environment Agency (fishing rules) — and special regulations can apply to Svartavatnet specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Svartavatnet is about 190 ft (58 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.
Svartavatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 58 meter (190 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Svartavatnet. 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.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a feeding flat in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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.
Fishing on Svartavatnet 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.
