32,111-acre lake near Kangasniemi. An island-dotted South Savo lake near Kangasniemi. Classic pike, zander and perch water with yearly zander stocking. The lake tops out around 37 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Vesi piirtyy 11 867 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 545.2 km, ja saaria on 128. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 14.1) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 62% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 35.9 km, leveimmillään 14.3 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Mikkelin seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Rauhajärvi, 11.3 km lounaaseen.

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 1 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 (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
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 Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 10 m of water and rates prime come fall. 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 | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (10 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
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 1 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 (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (10 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: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 10 m range, prime in summer. 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 | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Kesä | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Syksy | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring burbot on Kyyvesi 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 Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 29 m that grades prime for summer. 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 | Sharp break (10 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Kesä | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (29 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Syksy | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Sharp break (10 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
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 Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 29 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 | Sharp break (10 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (29 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
