It is rugged and open by nature, with few islands. Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi is one of the most popular fishing sites in Finland, but occasionally it feels like being in the wilderness.<\/p>\n<p>The most important game species on Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi are zander, pike, perch, brown trout and landlocked salmon. Due to its depth and small number of islands, it is a challenging fishing site, where it can sometimes be a struggle to find fish.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi also offers chances of catching big fish; people have caught a pike weighing over 17 kilos and almost ten-kilo specimens of brown trout and landlocked salmon from the la<\/p>\n<h2>Zander snatch from the edges of deeps<\/h2>\n<p>Zander fishing concentrates on the wide open mid-lake area in summer, when people go trolling them above deeps and on the edges of shallows close to deep waters. The surroundings of Siilinkari Rock off the City of Tampere and the deep running towards Aitolahti Bay are among the most famous zander spots.<\/p>\n<p>Popular fishing grounds include the area around the islands of Pallosaari and Harvassalo in the northern part of the N\u00e4siselk\u00e4 mid-lake area, the waters off Taulaniemi Point in the Koljonselk\u00e4 area and Unnekivensalmi Sound towards the Vankavesi area. Excellent spots for spinning enthusiasts include the current spots in Unnekivensalmi Sound. The Vankavesi mid-lake area is also a well-known zander site. In early summer, you can find zander at the mouths of bay areas.<\/p>\n<p>The bay waters of Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi are the best sites for catching pike. In particular, pike habitats include the rushes and bay waters with plenty of islands in the northern Myyrysselk\u00e4 and Vankavesi areas. The extensive shallows rising in the middle of the Koljonselk\u00e4 and Myyrysselk\u00e4 deeps also offer pike treats and you may even find quite a large predator pulling your rod. It is more difficult to find pike on the rugged shores of the N\u00e4siselk\u00e4 area.<\/p>\n<h2>In pursuit of brown trout in December<\/h2>\n<p>Brown trout and landlocked salmon bite very much in the same spots in mid-lake areas. The peak season concentrates on late autumn. Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi is among the last lakes in Finland to freeze over. In many years, people can continue trolling through to late December.<\/p>\n<p>Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi is one of the most popular ice-fishing sites in Finland, offering good chances of catching perch.<\/p>\n<p>The stock of signal crayfish has strengthened substantially in recent years. Lake &#8216;N\u00e4ssy&#8217;, as the locals affectionately call it, is one of the best crayfish lakes in Finland.<\/p>\n<h2>Peaceful nature to the side of the city<\/h2>\n<p>Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi is easy to reach. It spreads out in front of Tampere, the largest inland city in the Nordic countries, and you can find good fishing grounds right along the shores of the city. Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi is divided into three major mid-lake areas, N\u00e4siselk\u00e4, Koljonselk\u00e4 and Vankavesi, which are all first-rate fishing spots. Water quality is classified as being good, even excellent in places, making Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi a very popular destination for boat trips.<\/p>\n<p>The southern part of Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi is open with few islands, while the northern areas have more islands. The shores grow pine forests. The water has a shade of humus, but it&#8217;s still quite clear. Considerable investments have been made in fisheries management.<\/p>\n<p>The Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi route continues through Lakes Ruovesi and Tarjannevesi all the way up to Virrat, with the whole water route stretching more than 100 kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of holiday homes on Lake N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi, which restricts fishing in shore waters. Spinning on the jetty shore is not the done thing when the cottages are inhabited. Fortunately, there is an unlimited supply of fascinating fishing grounds in the lake&#8217;s wide open areas and mid-lake shallows.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":449,"template":"","region":[10],"destination_type":[53,52],"species":[],"class_list":["post-167","fishing_destination","type-fishing_destination","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","region-nasijarvi","destination_type-great-lakes","destination_type-lakes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fishing_destination\/167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fishing_destination"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fishing_destination"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=167"},{"taxonomy":"destination_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destination_type?post=167"},{"taxonomy":"species","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/species?post=167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
