578.2-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 19 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Veekogu joonistub 233 hektari suurusena, kallast 14.8 km. Kaldajoon on tugevalt liigestatud (indeks 2.7) — lahed ja neemed igal pool, mis mitmekordistab püütava serva. Umbes 70% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 3.1 km, kõige laiemas kohas 1.4 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Männiku järv, 3.2 km edelasse.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: bleak in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 4.5 m, wintering in 3 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 6.5 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Suvi | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Sügis | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Talv | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring puts common bream in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 7.5 m, wintering in 5.5 to 14 m. Summer common bream concentrate at Shallow feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 6 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Spring european perch on Raku järv hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 6.5 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |

| Sügis | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

| Kevad | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 5.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 11 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 6.5 m of water that rates prime for roach in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for ruffe tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 3 to 9 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 6.5 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
