26-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 3 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.
Vesi piirtyy 11 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 2.1 km. Rantaviiva on kohtalaisen rikkonainen (indeksi 1.8). Koko vesi on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — kasvillisuutta ja saaliskalaa rannasta rantaan. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 0.6 km, leveimmillään 0.3 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Kehys-Kainuun seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Syväjärvi, 1.6 km länteen.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 3 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
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 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 1 to 3 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 3 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 1 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 1 to 3 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3 m through summer, 1 to 3 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3 m range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 1 to 3 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.

Nuottinen is about 10 ft (3 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.
Nuottinen on syvimmillään noin 3 metriä (10 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, burbot on Nuottinen. 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 10 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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 Nuottinen 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.
