Fishing Suontee: what the data says
22,029-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 131 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Suontee runs 26,439 acres with 102.5 miles of edge. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 4.5) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. 43% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water.

Lake Whitefish fishing at Suontee
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 15 to 45 ft. They move out to 40 to 90 ft in summer and finish the year down in 25 to 70 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 5 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Sharp break (20 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
