Fishing Leinonen: what the data says
215-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 82 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 214 acres wrapped in 5.6 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 2.7, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 49% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.

European Perch fishing at Leinonen
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 8 to 28 ft in summer and finish the year down in 12 to 33 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 3 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
