258-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 53 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 104 hektar med 7.4 km strand. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 2.1). Omtrent 13% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 1.6 km, på det bredeste 1.4 km. Vannet ligger i Jølster kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Svartevassvatni, 9.7 km mot sør.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Trollavatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 53 m (174 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.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 18 m before dropping to 1.5 to 11 m for winter. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 3.5 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in spring. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Secondary point (6.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 3 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 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 (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Back-bay flat — feeding flat, 2.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 3.5 m, rated good for fall lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (33 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | open water | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, arctic char run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 18 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 12 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 3 m, rated good for spring arctic char. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) most summer days.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow 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 |

Trollavatnet is about 174 ft (53 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.
Trollavatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 53 meter (174 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Trollavatnet. 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 feeding flat in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
