Lake Pyhäjärvi (Tampere)

Fishing at Lake Pyhäjärvi

Lake Pyhäjärvi in Tampere is a nutrient-rich and productive lake offering top-tier fishing right next to the city center. Viinikanlahti bay, Hatanpää park shore, and Pyynikki straits are well-known angling hot spots.

What to expect?

Pyhäjärvi is particularly popular among zander anglers. Fast-growing zander and trophy perch thrive here, while the flow coming down from Tammerkoski attracts impressive asp and brown trout.

Best techniques

• Jigging: Jigging for zander and perch off Hatanpää and Pyynikki.
• Trolling: Shallow straits and open bays are ideal for evening trolling runs.
• Shore fishing: The shoreline along Hatanpää park and Viinikanlahti is accessible for casting and bait fishing.
