1,496.7-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 12 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Kaardil katab Vagula järv 603 hektarit, kaldajoont 17.4 km, saari on 2. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 2). Umbes 42% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 5 km, kõige laiemas kohas 2.1 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Tamula järv, 4.8 km itta.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Kevad | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Sügis | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 11 m before dropping to 3.5 to 12 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 12 m of water that rates prime for zander in winter. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

| Kevad | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Suvi | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (3 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Sügis | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (3 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talv | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 3.5 to 12 m. Even in summer they hold at 3.5 to 12 m; winter keeps them in 3.5 to 12 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 12 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.

Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 1 to 7.5 m. They move out to 3.5 to 12 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 12 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.

Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 1.5 to 6 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 9 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 12 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 2 m, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
