The area off Kaivanto is a renowned zander and trout site. Anglers troll for zander at the flanks of mid-lake shallows and, during hot summer spells, in the surface waters of mid-lake areas.<\/p>\n<h2>Rocky shores brimming with pike<\/h2>\n<p>In some places, the shoreline of Lake Roine is very rocky. There are also shallow and extensive reedy areas on the western shore and in the bay and sound waters of Saarikyl\u00e4t islands. Lake Mallasvesi is very rocky, in particular off the Town of Valkeakoski; the shoreline becomes more even towards the Town of P\u00e4lk\u00e4ne. The water quality in Lake Mallasvesi is among the best of all the major lakes in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Pike can be pursued in bay waters in early summer and from rocky shores and places with aquatic vegetation in the summer and autumn. The Tossanselk\u00e4 area of Lake Roine, the sounds of Saarikyl\u00e4t islands and the western part of Lake Mallasvesi are home to plenty of shoals where pike hunt for their prey.<\/p>\n<p>The zander stock is stronger in Lake Roine. In the summer, zander can be pursued by trolling on top of deep mid-lake waters and using soft plastic jigs at bank spots. The Tossanselk\u00e4 area is a good zander site, as evidenced by the names of two shoals in the middle of the area, Kuhakarit (\u2018Zander Shoals\u2019) and Kuhakivet (\u2018Zander Rocks\u2019). In recent years, anglers have caught even quite sizeable zander in Lake Mallasvesi, but the zander stock is generally not as strong as on the Lake Roine side.<\/p>\n<p>Both lakes are sure-fire perch fishing grounds and the area is currently home to sizeable perch. In the winter, it\u2019s worth going after perch using jigging lures in these limpid lakes in relatively deep water, at more than 10 metres.<\/p>\n<p>The deepest areas of Lake Mallasvesi lie between Mytt\u00e4\u00e4l\u00e4 and \u00c4im\u00e4l\u00e4. The lake\u2019s game species include whitefish and it also has good stocks of bream. Crayfish pots yield nice catches of signal crayfish on both lakes.<\/p>\n<p>Lake Mallasvesi is connected to another large limpid lake, P\u00e4lk\u00e4nevesi, through River Kostianvirta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":445,"template":"","region":[8,13],"destination_type":[53,52],"species":[],"class_list":["post-171","fishing_destination","type-fishing_destination","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","region-mallasvesi","region-roine","destination_type-great-lakes","destination_type-lakes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fishing_destination\/171","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\/445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=171"},{"taxonomy":"destination_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destination_type?post=171"},{"taxonomy":"species","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zanderland.fi\/nederlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/species?post=171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
