38.1-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Auf der Karte umfasst Altwigshagener See 15 Hektar hinter 1.6 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kalkloch bei Ferdinandshof, 4.8 km Richtung Süden.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Altwigshagener See, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 5 m (17 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht, Karpfen und mehr. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1.5 to 5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 5 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1.5 to 5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

Spring common bream on Altwigshagener See hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 1.5 to 5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 4.5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4.5 m, rated prime for winter common carp. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: crucian carp in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 5 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 2.5 m of water that rates prime for crucian carp in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

In spring, european eel run shallow here, mostly 1 to 5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 5 m, and they winter in 1.5 to 5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4.5 m, rated prime for winter european eel. Time it for after dark and the evening.

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Altwigshagener See specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

Altwigshagener See is about 17 ft (5 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Altwigshagener See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 5 Meter (17 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, common carp, crucian carp, european eel, roach, tench, white bream, zander on Altwigshagener See. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Altwigshagener See is regulated by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei). Check the official Germany regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
