274.8-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 4.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Veekogu joonistub 111 hektari suurusena, kallast 8.2 km. Kaldajoon on tugevalt liigestatud (indeks 2.2) — lahed ja neemed igal pool, mis mitmekordistab püütava serva. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 3.9 km, kõige laiemas kohas 0.5 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Kaiavere järv, 1.6 km kirdesse.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 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 | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 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 1.5 to 4.5 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 | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Sügis | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 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 1.5 to 4.5 m. Through summer count on 1.5 to 4.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 4.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
