27-acre lake in Finland. The lake tops out around 1.5 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 Ylimmäinen Syrjäjärvi kattaa 11 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 1.8 km. Rantaviiva on kohtalaisen rikkonainen (indeksi 1.5). Koko vesi on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — kasvillisuutta ja saaliskalaa rannasta rantaan. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 0.6 km, leveimmillään 0.5 km. Vesi sijaitsee alueella Kehys-Kainuun seutukunta. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Mäkijärvi, 1.6 km luoteeseen.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 0.5 to 1.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 1.5 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 1.5 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

| Kevät | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (1.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 1.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 1.5 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 1.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

Spring puts zander in skinny water — 0.5 to 1.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 1.5 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 1.5 m. Fall zander concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 1.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.

| Kevät | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |

When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 0.5 to 1.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 1.5 m, winter 0.5 to 1.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 1.5 m of water and rates good come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 0.5 to 1.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 0.5 to 1.5 m covers summer, 0.5 to 1.5 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 1.5 m range, good in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.

Ylimmäinen Syrjäjärvi is about 5 ft (2 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.
Ylimmäinen Syrjäjärvi on syvimmillään noin 2 metriä (5 jalkaa). Syvyydet perustuvat todellisiin luotauksiin.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, lake whitefish, burbot on Ylimmäinen Syrjäjärvi. 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 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.
