132.4-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency 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.
Kaardil katab Lohja järv 53 hektarit, kaldajoont 3.7 km, ja vees on üks saar. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.4) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Kogu veekogu on madalam kui ~5 m — taimestik ja söödakala kaldast kaldani. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 1.3 km, kõige laiemas kohas 0.6 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Hara and Kolga Bay - Central East, 6.4 km läände.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 3.5 m covers summer, 1 to 3.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 3.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 3.5 m before dropping to 1 to 3.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 3 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 3.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for winter common carp. Time it for early morning and the evening.
