4,108-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 35 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vesi piirtyy 1 760 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 55 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 3.7) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 52% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 8.7 km, leveimmillään 4.8 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Lahden seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Kyynäröjärvi, 9.7 km luoteeseen.

Spring european perch on Vesijako 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 Break off the point — drop-off, 3.5 m, prime for summer. 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 (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4.5 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 Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 0.5 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shoreline point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring zander on Vesijako 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 Sharp break — drop-off, 4.5 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 | Rock reef (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (4.5 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: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 4.5 m range, prime in spring. 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 | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (33 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (1 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (9 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 7.5 to 21 m. Summer is an 11 to 35 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 18 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 33 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Kesä | 11 to 35 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (33 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Syksy | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Rock reef (1 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Structure-wise the chart holds 12 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 33 m.

Vesijako is about 115 ft (35 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Vesijako on syvimmillään noin 35 metriä (115 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Vesijako. 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 2 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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.
Fishing on Vesijako is regulated by the Kalastusrajoitus.fi (official Finnish restriction service). Check the official Finland regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
