404-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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vesi piirtyy 163 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 11.7 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 2.6) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 59% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 2.7 km, leveimmillään 1.6 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Mikkelin seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Juolasvesi-Sarkavesi, 8 km koilliseen.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Nurmaanjärvi hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| 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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 11 m game here, winter a 6 to 12 m one. Start at Secondary point. It's a point holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Secondary point (2 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 |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 15 m, wintering in 4.5 to 15 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 15 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | open water | 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 | Secondary point (2 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 |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 15 m. Even in summer they hold at 4.5 to 15 m; winter keeps them in 3.5 to 15 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 15 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

Nurmaanjärvi is about 49 ft (15 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.
Nurmaanjärvi on syvimmillään noin 15 metriä (49 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Nurmaanjärvi. 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. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
