518-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 30 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vesi piirtyy 209 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 16.3 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 3.2) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 65% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 3.2 km, leveimmillään 1.8 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Äänekoski. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Kiimasjärvi, 6.4 km länteen.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m 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.
| 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 | Break off the point (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (7 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is 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 | Break off the point (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 4.5 to 11 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 3 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is 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 | Main-lake point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 4.5 to 14 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 12 to 27 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 21 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 28 m, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. 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 | Shallow feeding flat (7 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (28 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (3 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (7 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring burbot on Naarajärvi hold shallow, usually 7.5 to 21 m. By summer they slide out to 9 to 30 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 18 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 28 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (28 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Kesä | 9 to 30 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (28 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Syksy | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (28 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (3 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |

Naarajärvi is about 98 ft (30 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.
Naarajärvi on syvimmillään noin 30 metriä (98 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Naarajärvi. 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. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
