Lake Fishing |

Nature has moulded the major water routes that reach every corner of the
region, interspersed with numerous smaller water areas. The region is
home to 2,500 lakes of more than one hectare and the largest 20 of these
range from 2,000 to 26,000 hectares in size. The most typical water
quality classification for the region’s lakes is ‘good’, with an average
depth of 11 metres. In addition to major water routes, many small lakes
are also well-stocked and interesting fishing sites. |

| The most
popular forms of fishing on lakes are spinning and trolling as well as
angling and jigging. And of course, ice-fishing in the winter. |
|
| Trolling |
| When lake fishing for zander and salmonoids, the main method is trolling.
When trolling, plugs (wobblers) are the most popular lures for zander,
pike and salmonoids. People also use spoons for brown trout and
landlocked salmon, in particular when fishing in deep waters in summer,
as well as for pike. Baitfish rigs are also very popular lures today and
they are effective especially for landlocked salmon and brown trout. |

Spinning |
| Spoons are the best lures for casting for pike. In early summer, zander
are pursued by casting a jig. Perch strike jigs and spinners voraciously
in shallow spots, as do pike that thrive in bay waters. You can find
more information about the fishing methods, when you go to the page that
introduces the species. |

Great Lakes – jewels of the Tampere Region |
| We will present the most
important fishing sites, including the region’s major lakes with their
combined licence areas (Fishing Pass licences) and quite a number of rapids fishing sites.
Estimates of the strength of the most important lure fishing game fish
stocks are shown on the pages detailing the lake sites (1–3 stars). The
estimates are indicative and are provided in proportion to the general
occurrence of different species. Therefore, the starting points for the
most common game fish species, such as zander, pike and perch, are
different from those applied to the more rare landlocked salmon and
brown trout. |
