10,685-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 117 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 Vesle Ossjøen 4 313 hektar innenfor 72.1 km strandlinje. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 3.1) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 3% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 26.6 km, på det bredeste 5.5 km. Vannet ligger i Trysil kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Engeren, 45.1 km mot nord.

Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 7.5 to 18 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 11 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 12 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 | Main-lake point (6 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |

| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (12 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 2.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. 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 | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 12 to 27 m game here, winter a 7.5 to 21 m one. Start at Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 13 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.

It's an offshore hump holding about 7.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 7.5 to 21 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 37 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 18 m. Top water on the chart: Offshore hump, an offshore hump in the 7.5 m range, prime in winter. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.
