34-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 15 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Kartalla Kaivosjärvi kattaa 14 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 2.9 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 2.2) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 64% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 1.1 km, leveimmillään 0.3 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Kehys-Kainuun seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Valkeainen, 0 km kaakkoon.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 15 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 14 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon 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.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (14 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (14 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 4.5 to 15 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 4.5 to 15 m covers summer, 3.5 to 15 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 14 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Kevät | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (14 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |

Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 14 m.

Kaivosjärvi is about 49 ft (15 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Kaivosjärvi on syvimmillään noin 15 metriä (49 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, burbot on Kaivosjärvi. 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 weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Kaivosjärvi is regulated by the Kalastusrajoitus.fi (official Finnish restriction service). Check the official Finland regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
