19-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 6 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vesi piirtyy 7 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 1.4 km. Rantaviiva on kohtalaisen rikkonainen (indeksi 1.6). Noin 93% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 0.5 km, leveimmillään 0.3 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Kehys-Kainuun seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Hulminjärvi, 3.2 km luoteeseen.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 6 m game here, winter a 2 to 6 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
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 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Pieni Särkijärvi 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 Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 2 m that grades prime for fall. 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 | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 6 m game here, winter a 2 to 6 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
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 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 2 to 6 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 6 m, and winter fish hold in 2 to 6 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 6 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.

| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 1.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 2 to 6 m. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 6 m; winter keeps them in 1.5 to 6 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 6 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.
