Fishing big pike 18 9 2016 by lake kyyvesi finland


Kyyvesi (transl.Viper Water) is a rather large lake in the Southern Savonia region of Finland. Spite its size (129,95 km²) it's very shallow and extremely rocky. Motorboating is recommended only for very experienced boaters as many of the rocks have not been mapped. Also, the limited amount of landing sites is a hindrance in moving swiftly through the lake. A general bathymetric chart was completed in 2006. Canoes, kayaks and rowing boats are recommended for visitors. There is a two-lake canoein route Kyyvesi–Puula with nice little harbours. The water is dark for the catchment area is mostly swampy terrain. Locals claim that two sorts of zander fishes are living in the lake.
