5,659-acre Ii - Olhava - Taipale. South Finland coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Finnish hydrographic chart/DTM assessed contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Syke VHS 2022 named coastal water in Bothnian Bay. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 8.5 m. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit official hydrographic-chart depth models, so the contours are chart-derived rather than computer-modeled; no directly measured sounding coverage is claimed. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Vesi piirtyy 2 290 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 58.3 km, ja saaria on 19. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 3.4) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 87% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 14.5 km, leveimmillään 4 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Hailuoto - Kuivaniemi - Sector 04, 9.7 km luoteeseen.

Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 8.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Weed flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deepest basin (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Deepest basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday & dawn | Deepest basin (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 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. If you only fish one area, make it Weed flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

Spring atlantic herring on Ii - Olhava - Taipale - South hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 8.5 m. Put Deepest basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 8.5 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.

| Kevät | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Talvi | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Deepest basin (8.5 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring puts european whitefish in skinny water — 2 to 8.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish hold in 2.5 to 8.5 m. Spring european whitefish concentrate at Deepest basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 8.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small vertical spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

Early season sea trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 8.5 m. Put Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 1.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.

| Kevät | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |

| Talvi | 1.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european smelt in 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 2.5 to 8.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Deepest basin, a deep basin in about 8.5 m of water that rates prime for european smelt in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig gets it done.
