Porovesi

Set in Pohjois-Savo, Finland, Porovesi is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Porovesi usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

• For Ide

• For Zander

  Use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the lure to sink and trigger strikes from zander lying on the bottom.
