17,426-acre Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki. Central West 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 43 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vesi piirtyy 7 047 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 41.7 km, ja saaria on 4. Allas on yksinkertainen (rantaindeksi 1.4) — lähes malja, joten syvyyskäyrät merkitsevät enemmän kuin ranta. Noin 1% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 15.8 km, leveimmillään 8.2 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - South West, 9.7 km etelään.

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.

Spring european perch on Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - Central West hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 9 m that grades good for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (9 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (9 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

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

| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | open water | Large jigging spoon |
Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 6 to 18 m one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 14 m, good for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a herring feather rig or a small silver jig and you're in the game.

| Kevät | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Talvi | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (14 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
In spring, european whitefish run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 8.5 to 24 m, and winter fish settle into 5.5 to 18 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 9 m, rated good for spring european whitefish. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small vertical spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

Spring sea trout on Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - Central West hold shallow, usually 1 to 6 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 9 m. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 14 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon.

Start shallow in spring: european smelt sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 21 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 20 m. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 14 m range, good in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

No active municipality-, consortium-, or state-owned LIPAS fishing, boating, beach, swimming, canoe or motor-boat facility matched within 400 metres of this exact mapped shoreline. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Finland waters are set by the Kalastusrajoitus.fi (official current Finnish fishing-restriction service) — and special regulations can apply to Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - Central West specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Kalastusrajoitus.fi, current protection periods and permit requirements before every Finnish coastal trip. Local no-fishing areas, river-mouth restrictions, protected species, minimum sizes, seasonal closures, gear rules, the fisheries-management fee and water-owner permissions may apply. A mapped hydrographic contour, fishing-spot marker or nearby LIPAS public facility is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shoreline entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.
