87.4-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 4.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Auf der Karte umfasst Briesensee 35 Hektar hinter 2.9 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.4) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Redernswalder See, 3.2 km Richtung Südosten.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 4.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4 m, rated prime for fall european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
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 (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4.5 m, wintering in 1 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 0.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
When the water first warms, common bream slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 4.5 m, winter 1 to 4.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 4 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |

| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) |
Early season rudd use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 0.5 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.

| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
In spring, tench run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring tench. Time it for early morning and the evening.

The chart marks 6 structure features on Briesensee; the deepest is Deep basin at about 4 m.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Briesensee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Briesensee is about 14 ft (4 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.
Briesensee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (14 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, roach, common bream, rudd, tench, european eel, white bream, bleak, ruffe, common carp on Briesensee. This isn't a survey of the lake — none is on record for it — but an informed estimate from the species listed for the nearest surveyed lakes in the region, filtered to this lake's depth and habitat.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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 Briesensee is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (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.
