209.5-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 6.5 m. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Veekogu joonistub 84 hektari suurusena, kallast 6.6 km. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 2). Kogu veekogu on madalam kui ~5 m — taimestik ja söödakala kaldast kaldani. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 2.1 km, kõige laiemas kohas 1.3 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Tündre järv, 8 km kagusse.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 6.5 m game here, winter a 2 to 6.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 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.
| 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 | 2 to 6.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (5.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 2 to 6.5 m | midday | Deep basin (5.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 2 to 6.5 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (5.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Ruhijärv 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 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.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Sügis | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 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 |
Ruhijärv carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 5.5 m down.
Ruhijärv is about 22 ft (7 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart here comes from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the contours reflect measured depths.
Ruhijärv on sügavaimas kohas umbes 7 meetrit (22 jalga). Sügavused põhinevad päris mõõdistustel.
