38,348-acre lake near Säkylä. Southwest Finland's shallow, exceptionally productive lake at Säkylä. The country's top commercial vendace and whitefish fishery, famous too for plump perch. The lake tops out around 25 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vesi piirtyy 15 416 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 102.8 km, ja saaria on 24. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 2.3) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 45% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 25.4 km, leveimmillään 10 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Rauman seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Koskeljärvi, 11.3 km lounaaseen.

Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 7.5 to 25 m, wintering in 7.5 to 21 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 25 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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (14 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 7.5 to 25 m | dawn | Deep basin (25 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (14 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
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 1.5 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 (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Pyhäjärvi (Säkylä) 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 1.5 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 (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (3.5 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 (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 7.5 to 21 m. Expect a summer slide to 7.5 to 25 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 18 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 25 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (25 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Kesä | 7.5 to 25 m | night & midday | Deep basin (25 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Syksy | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (25 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 14 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Kesä | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Sharp break (14 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Syksy | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (2 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
