395-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 45 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) 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.
Vesi piirtyy 172 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 10.6 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 2.3) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 36% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 2.7 km, leveimmillään 1.4 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Savonlinnan seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Pihlajavesi (Saimaa), 4.8 km koilliseen.

Spring european perch on Suuri Siikajärvi hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 3.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Back-bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (3.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring zander on Suuri Siikajärvi hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 11 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 12 m. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 5 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (3.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 4.5 to 14 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 27 m; cold water stacks them in 7.5 to 21 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 23 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Break off the point (23 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (23 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 7.5 to 21 m. Summer is a 15 to 37 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 18 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 23 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (23 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Kesä | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (45 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Syksy | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (23 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (23 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 45 m, is the deepest of them.

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Suuri Siikajärvi. 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 12 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
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.
