The Lake Kyyvesi

Lake Kyyvesi is a large, peaceful lake known for its excellent fishing and unspoiled nature. With over 400 islands and wide open waters, it offers plenty of space to explore and find your own fishing spots.

The lake is about 26 kilometers long, and its width varies between 1 and 9 kilometers. The total surface area is 133 square kilometers.

The water level of the lake was lowered by 1.78 meters in 1869–1870. Today, this can be seen in the large number of small islands and the rocky nature of the lake. The tips of islands and peninsulas, especially in the southeastern parts of the lake, often continue far underwater as shallow areas, even if no rocks are visible above the surface. These hidden rocks can be dangerous for boat propellers, but they are also excellent spots where fish tend to gather along the edges.

Fish Species

Lake Kyyvesi is well known for its strong zander population, making it an exciting destination for anglers looking for a real catch. The lake offers excellent fishing opportunities for all skill levels. In addition to zander, perch and pike are abundant and relatively easy to catch, giving you a high chance of success on every trip. With its naturally healthy fish stocks—including pike, perch and zander, Kyyvesi provides a rewarding and authentic Finnish fishing experience in clean, peaceful surroundings.
