Autumn

 
 
Average monthly temperatures and daily ranges are provided from the 1971–2000 climate statistics measured at Tampere/Pirkkala weather station. Sunrise and sunset times are based on the 15th day of each month.
 
 
September
 
Typical daily temperature: 10°C – 20°C
Average temperature: 9.4°C, max. 24.8°C, (1971-2000)
Sunrise at 6:52, sunset at 19:46 (15 Sep.)
 
Typical game species, fishing methods and catch depths:
 
Spinning, jigging, trolling: Angling with a hook and line:
Pike 5–15 m
Zander 5–10 m
Perch 2–15 m
Perch, roach, bream
1–10 m
 
 

Lake Rautavesi

 
The zander jigging season continues. The autumn trolling season for big pike starts towards the end of the month. Big pike still mostly lie in fairly deep waters. When spinning, soft plastic jigs work well for pike.

The perch spinning season continues. Seagull raids on smelt schools close to mid-lake shallows give away sure-fire perch spots. The autumn closed season starts in rapids sites on 11th September.

 
 
 
 
October
 
Typical daily temperature: 5°C – 10°C
Average temperature: 4.7°C, max. 17.5°C (1971-2000)
Sunrise at 8:09, sunset at 18:11 (15. Oct.)
 
Typical game species, fishing methods and catch depths:
 
Spinning, jigging, vertical jigging: Trolling:
Pike 1–15 m
Zander 8–15 m
Perch 5–15 m
Pike 1–10 m
Brown trout, landlocked salmon
1–10 m
 
 

Lake Kyrösjarvi

 
On certain lakes, sizeable pike come to shallow waters within reach of spinning anglers. However, big pike remain in deep waters in many lakes. Vertical jigging is a good way to catch pike and zander. Salmonoids start to come to the surface.
 
 

Lake Rautavesi

 
November
 
Typical daily temperature: -5°C – +5°C
Average temperature: -1.0°C, max. 10.4°C, min. -21.7°C (1971-2000)
Sunrise at 8:34, sunset at 15:45 (15. Nov.)
 
Typical game species, fishing methods and catch depths:
 
Spinning, jigging, vertical jigging: Trolling:
Pike 1–15 m
Zander 8–15 m
Perch 5–15 m
Pike 1–10 m
Brown trout, landlocked salmon 1–5 m
 
 
 

Lake Tarjannevesi

 
Water temperatures are only a few degrees above zero and peaceful vertical jigging works well for pike and zander. Salmonoids strike plugs, spoons and baitfish rigs on the surface and, in addition to open mid-lake areas, they can also be caught close to shores.

Small lakes usually start to freeze over in late November and the first ice-fishing holes are bored soon afterwards (however, lakes were still open on 30th November 2011). The autumn closed season ends in rapids sites on 15th November (fishing starts on 16th).
