1,014-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 55 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Vesi piirtyy 428 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 25.6 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 3.5) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 29% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 5.8 km, leveimmillään 2.1 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Tampereen seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Hankajärvi, 4.8 km länteen.

Spring european perch on Pukala hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| 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 | Break off the point (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | 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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring zander on Pukala hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 11 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 12 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 2 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 27 m; cold water stacks them in 7.5 to 21 m. Top water on the chart: Feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 14 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (14 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Feeding flat (14 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (14 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 7.5 to 21 m. Summer is a 15 to 37 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 18 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates good come winter. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Kesä | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | open water | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Syksy | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Pukala. 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. 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.
