449-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 6 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Kartalla Laukkujärvi kattaa 181 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 13.8 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 2.9) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 65% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 3.7 km, leveimmillään 1.8 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Itä-Lapin seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Mäntyjärvi - Salmijärvi, 6.4 km kaakkoon.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 6 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 | Break off the point (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 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 |
Spring lake whitefish on Laukkujärvi hold shallow, usually 2 to 6 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 2 to 6 m in summer, 2 to 6 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 6 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.

| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 1.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (6 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 2 to 6 m. Summer keeps them at 2 to 6 m, and they winter in 1.5 to 6 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 6 m, rated prime for spring burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |

| Syksy | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 6 m, is the deepest of them.

Laukkujärvi is about 20 ft (6 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.
Laukkujärvi on syvimmillään noin 6 metriä (20 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, burbot on Laukkujärvi. 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 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Open the map above to see every rated 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 Laukkujärvi 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.
