8,333-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 50 m. The depth chart comes from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) 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.
Kartalla Ylä-Rieveli kattaa 3 708 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 124.1 km. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 5.7) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 42% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 19.6 km, leveimmillään 11.1 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Mikkelin seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Kangaslampi, 6.4 km pohjoiseen.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (48 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (48 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 12 m. Rock reef is the standout, a rock pile at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring zander. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (7.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (7.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (7.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 4.5 to 14 m. They move out to 12 to 27 m in summer and finish the year down in 7.5 to 21 m. If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 2 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (13 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Kesä | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Sharp break (27 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Syksy | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Talvi | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (13 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 7.5 to 21 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 37 m before dropping to 4.5 to 18 m for winter. The spot to know is Rock reef, a rock pile in about 2 m of water that rates prime for burbot in winter. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (48 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Kesä | 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Sharp break (27 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Syksy | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Sharp break (27 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talvi | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
14 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 48 m, is the deepest of them.

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Ylä-Rieveli. 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 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Open the map above to see every rated 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.
