971-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 65 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vannet tegner ut 392 hektar med 13.4 km strand. Strandlinjen er moderat strukturert (indeks 1.9). Omtrent 9% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 5 km, på det bredeste 1.3 km. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Hovsfjorden, 4.8 km mot sørøst.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Volbufjorden, Norge: omtrentlige dybdekoter ned til 65 m (213 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.
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 16 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (16 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (29 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (55 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (55 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Volbufjorden hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 12 to 27 m, wintering in 7.5 to 21 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 29 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (29 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | open water | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (55 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 18 m, wintering in 3 to 12 m. Spring arctic char concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a good-rated feeding flat around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (55 m) | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | open water | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (55 m) | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 55 m.

Volbufjorden is about 213 ft (65 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.

Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Volbufjorden. 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 feeding flat in about 6 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.
