Rating depth structure for northern pike.

258-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 2 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Vannet tegner ut 104 hektar med 7.9 km strand. Strandlinjen er sterkt oppfliket (indeks 2.2) — viker og nes overalt, som mangedobler den fiskbare kanten. Hele vannet er grunnere enn ~5 m — vegetasjon og byttefisk fra strand til strand. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 2.3 km, på det bredeste 1 km. Vannet ligger i Bardu kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Altevatnet, 25.7 km mot sørøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Veslvatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 2 m (7 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 0.5 to 2 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2 m through summer, 0.5 to 2 m in winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 1 m of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. 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.
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 | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 2 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 0.5 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 | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 2 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 2 m, rated good for summer 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.

In spring, arctic char run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 2 m, rated prime for summer 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.

Veslvatnet is about 7 ft (2 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.
Veslvatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 2 meter (7 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Veslvatnet. 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 2 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.
