16-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 15 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.
Kartalla Mustalampi kattaa 6,5 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 1.1 km. Allas on yksinkertainen (rantaindeksi 1.2) — lähes malja, joten syvyyskäyrät merkitsevät enemmän kuin ranta. Noin 63% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Joensuun seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Valkealampi, 0 km pohjoiseen.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. Summer european perch concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2.5 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for fall northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 11 m before dropping to 6 to 12 m for winter. Fall zander concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2.5 m. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (15 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 4.5 to 14 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 15 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 15 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 15 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (15 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 15 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (15 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 4.5 to 15 m. The depth story barely changes: 4.5 to 15 m through summer, 3.5 to 15 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 m range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and midday. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.

Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 15 m.

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Mustalampi. 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.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 48 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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.
