70.2-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 5 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.
Kaardil katab Saare järv 28 hektarit, kaldajoont 2.9 km. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 1.5). Kogu veekogu on madalam kui ~5 m — taimestik ja söödakala kaldast kaldani. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 0.8 km, kõige laiemas kohas 0.8 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Jõemõisa järve veekogum, 3.2 km itta.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 5 m, rated prime for fall european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
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 (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1.5 to 5 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Fall northern pike concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 3 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
