About Onkivesi
Tucked into Pohjois-Savo, Finland, Onkivesi is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Onkivesi should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Zander
Use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the lure to sink and trigger strikes from zander lying on the bottom.
- For European perch
Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
