Rating depth structure for zander.

300-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 3 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 Kuusijärvi kattaa 121 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 5.8 km. Rantaviiva on kohtalaisen rikkonainen (indeksi 1.5). Koko vesi on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — kasvillisuutta ja saaliskalaa rannasta rantaan. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 2.1 km, leveimmillään 1 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Kehys-Kainuun seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Korkananjärvi, 1.6 km länteen.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3 m. Back-bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
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 puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 3 m, wintering in 1 to 3 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 3 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for fall zander. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.

| Kevät | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 1 to 3 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 3 m, winter 1 to 3 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 1 to 3 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 3 m covers summer, 1 to 3 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 3 m of water that rates prime for burbot in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.

Kuusijärvi carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 3 m down.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Finland waters are set by the Kalastusrajoitus.fi (official Finnish restriction service) — and special regulations can apply to Kuusijärvi specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Kuusijärvi is about 10 ft (3 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.
Kuusijärvi on syvimmillään noin 3 metriä (10 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Kuusijärvi. 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.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 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.
