726-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 8.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Veekogu joonistub 292 hektari suurusena, kallast 16.7 km, saari on 4. Kaldajoon on tugevalt liigestatud (indeks 2.8) — lahed ja neemed igal pool, mis mitmekordistab püütava serva. Umbes 50% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 3.7 km, kõige laiemas kohas 1.6 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Nõuni järv, 11.3 km põhja poole.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8.5 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 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 2.5 to 8.5 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 8.5 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 | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Sügis | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 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 |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8.5 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 7 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Sügis | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (7 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talv | 2.5 to 8.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 2.5 to 8.5 m. Through summer count on 2.5 to 8.5 m; the winter hold is 2 to 8.5 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.
