475.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 7 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 191 Hektar mit 10.9 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.2) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 93% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.7 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Oberer Beetzsee, 4.8 km Richtung Osten.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 7 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 7 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Beetzsee bei Butzow hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 7 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 7 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 3 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
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 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (6.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 1.5 to 6 m. They move out to 2 to 7 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 7 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 3 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (2.5 m) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Sommer | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3 m) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |

| Winter | 1.5 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 12 m | dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 2 to 7 m. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 7 m; winter keeps them in 2 to 7 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 6.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

Come spring, look for common carp tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2 to 7 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening.
