Puula

Anglers know Puula as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Etelä-Savo, Finland. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Puula is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

• For Landlocked atlantic salmon

  Vary your retrieval speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to on that particular day, as these salmon can be finicky.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For European whitefish

  Use a slow retrieve or jigging action, keeping the lure close to the bottom where whitefish often feed; experiment with different depths.
