27,676-acre lake near Jokkmokk. The lake tops out around 134 m. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Virihaure mäter 11 051 hektar bakom 121.2 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 11 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3.3) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 13% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 23.7 km, som bredast 10.6 km. Vattnet hör till Jokkmokk kommun.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: arctic char in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 18 m, wintering in 3 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Rock reef, a rock pile in the 3.5 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Gieddejåhkå inflow (2.5 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommar | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Offshore hump (5.5 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (5.5 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 11 m. Gieddejåhkå inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Gieddejåhkå inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommar | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Deep break (13 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Höst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Gieddejåhkå inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Gieddejåhkå inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
