116,881-acre lake near Kuopio. The great waterway lake wrapped around Kuopio. Pike and zander water with island-flanked mid-lake deeps, surveyed by Syke. The lake tops out around 75 m. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vesi piirtyy 42 832 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 1629.9 km, ja saaria on 848. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 22.2) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 56% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 61.2 km, leveimmillään 27 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Kuopio sub-region. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Matkus, 6.4 km luoteeseen.
Ilmainen interaktiivinen kalastuskartta — Kallavesi, Suomi: likimääräiset syvyyskäyrät 75 metriin (246 jalkaa) asti, parhaat kalapaikat lajeille kuha, hauki, ahven ja muut. Syvyyskartta on mallinnettu järven todellisesta rantaviivasta ja suurimmasta syvyydestä. Käytä sitä suuntaa-antavana, älä koskaan navigointiin.
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 11 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 12 m. Start at Creek inflow. It's an inflow / creek mouth holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Deep break (11 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 1 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 7.5 to 18 m, wintering in 1.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Creek inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Kesä | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Deep break (11 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Syksy | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Creek inflow (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 12 to 27 m before dropping to 7.5 to 21 m for winter. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Offshore hump, a prime-rated offshore hump around 15 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Offshore hump (15 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (15 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring burbot on Kallavesi hold shallow, usually 7.5 to 21 m. They move out to 15 to 37 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 18 m. Put Offshore hump first on the milk run — an offshore hump near 15 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (15 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Kesä | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Offshore hump (15 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Syksy | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (15 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Offshore hump (15 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
