6-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 8 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:
På kartet dekker Vesle Kalvetjernet 2 hektar innenfor 1 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.8). Omtrent 88% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 0.5 km. Vannet ligger i Lunner kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Kalvetjernet, 0 km mot nordøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Vesle Kalvetjernet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 8 m (27 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.
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 8 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 5.5 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
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 | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 8 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 8 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 8 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 7 m of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.

| 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 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 5.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 (5.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5.5 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 lake whitefish on Vesle Kalvetjernet hold shallow, usually 2.5 to 8 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 2.5 to 8 m in summer, 2.5 to 8 m once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 7 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.

Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 7 m.

Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish on Vesle Kalvetjernet. 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 23 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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.
