2,330.4-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 5.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Kaardil katab Ülemiste järv 938 hektarit, kaldajoont 15.3 km, ja vees on üks saar. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.4) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Kogu veekogu on madalam kui ~5 m — taimestik ja söödakala kaldast kaldani. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 4.7 km, kõige laiemas kohas 3.2 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Raku järv, 4.8 km lõunasse.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5.5 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 5 m range, prime in fall. 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 (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 1.5 to 5.5 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 5.5 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 5.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring cisco (lake herring) on Ülemiste järv hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 5.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1.5 to 5.5 m in summer, 1.5 to 5.5 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic.
