Pielavesi

Set in Pohjois-Savo, Finland, Pielavesi is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Pielavesi 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.

Fishing Techniques

• For White bream

  Use a light line and small hook to avoid spooking the fish; white bream can be quite cautious.

• 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.
