150-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 8 m. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Vannet tegner ut 61 hektar med 7.2 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.6) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Omtrent 77% 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. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Tisleifjorden, 6.4 km mot sørøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Veslevatnet, Norge: omtrentlige dybdekoter ned til 8 m (26 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. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8 m, wintering in 1 to 8 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 6.5 m range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and early morning. 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 (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m | night & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1 to 8 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 8 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in 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 (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 8 m | midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 2.5 to 8 m. Summer keeps them at 2.5 to 8 m, and they winter in 2.5 to 8 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 6.5 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | 2.5 to 8 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2 to 8 m | dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 2.5 to 8 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, arctic char run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8 m before dropping to 2 to 8 m for winter. Summer arctic char concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 6.5 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | open water | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2 to 8 m | midday & dusk | open water | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 2 to 8 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Veslevatnet carries 5 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 6.5 m down.
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 Veslevatnet specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Veslevatnet is about 26 ft (8 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Veslevatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 8 meter (26 fot). Dybdekartet er modellberegnet fra innsjøens virkelige strandlinje — bruk det som veiledning, aldri til navigasjon.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Veslevatnet. 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 weed flat in about 3 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.
