2,839-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 10 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.
Kartalla Rauhajärvi kattaa 1 177 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 54.4 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 4.5) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 83% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 11.4 km, leveimmillään 2.9 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Mikkelin seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Pesäjärvi, 6.4 km etelään.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Weed flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 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 | Weed flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 10 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 10 m. The spot to know is Gravel shoal, a gravel shoal in about 1 m of water that rates prime for zander in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (3 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring lake whitefish on Rauhajärvi hold shallow, usually 3 to 10 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 3 to 10 m in summer, 3 to 10 m once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 7 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.

| Kevät | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Gravel shoal (1 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Talvi | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 3 to 10 m. Summer keeps them at 3 to 10 m, and they winter in 2.5 to 10 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 7 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

Rauhajärvi is about 33 ft (10 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Rauhajärvi on syvimmillään noin 10 metriä (33 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Rauhajärvi. 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.
Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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.
