1,047.5-acre reservoir in Estonia. The lake tops out around 8 m. The depth chart comes from published agency 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.
Veekogu joonistub 450 hektari suurusena, kallast 12.2 km. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 1.6). Umbes 89% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 4 km, kõige laiemas kohas 1.9 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Maardu järv, 41.8 km loodesse.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Sügis | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 2.5 to 8 m. Through summer count on 2.5 to 8 m; the winter hold is 2 to 8 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.

| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (8 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Sügis | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (8 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talv | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (8 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 8 m, is the deepest of them.

Paunküla veehoidla is about 27 ft (8 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Paunküla veehoidla on sügavaimas kohas umbes 8 meetrit (27 jalga). Sügavused põhinevad päris mõõdistustel.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, burbot on Paunküla veehoidla.
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 interactive chart above rates every 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.
