537.7-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 7.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency 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.
Kaardil katab Tamula järv 217 hektarit, kaldajoont 7.6 km. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.4) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Umbes 48% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 2.1 km, kõige laiemas kohas 1.4 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Vagula järv, 4.8 km läände.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 7.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 7.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) 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.
| 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 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 2.5 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 2.5 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 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. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Sügis | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 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 |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 7.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 7.5 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 6 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Sügis | 2.5 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (6 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talv | 2.5 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 2.5 to 7.5 m. Summer keeps them at 2.5 to 7.5 m, and they winter in 2 to 7.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 7 m, rated prime for spring burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.
