When to fish ruffe in Lithuania

• Spring 3–15 ft — Probe sheltered sand or fine gravel near deeper water with a small bait close to bottom.
• Summer 10–30 ft — The soft-bottom side of a contour break is more dependable than vegetation in warm weather.
• Fall 12–35 ft — Vertical presentations on the deeper basin lip reduce time spent away from the school.
• Winter 15–40 ft — Keep a small bait tight to bottom; ruffe often share winter depth with perch and cyprinids.
