604.2-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 6.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Veekogu joonistub 243 hektari suurusena, kallast 10.9 km, ja vees on üks saar. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 2). Umbes 61% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 2.6 km, kõige laiemas kohas 1.8 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Köstrijärv, 8 km põhja poole.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 6.5 m game here, winter a 2 to 6.5 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

Spring northern pike on Aheru järv 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 weed flat near 0.5 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.

When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 6.5 m game here, winter a 2 to 6.5 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
