11.4-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 2 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 4,5 Hektar mit 1 km Ufer. 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 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Priestersee, 0 km Richtung Südosten.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 0.5 to 2 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 2 m, winter 0.5 to 2 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 1.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run 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 | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (1.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (1.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |

Spring northern pike on Dammsee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 0.5 to 2 m in summer, 0.5 to 2 m once it turns cold. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 1 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.

| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 0.5 to 2 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 0.5 to 2 m covers summer, 0.5 to 2 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (1.5 m) |
When the water first warms, crucian carp slide up into 0.5 to 2 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 2 m, winter 0.5 to 2 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 2 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 2 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 2 m. Fall roach concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (1.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, rudd run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2 m. Winter rudd concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 1.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.

Count 3 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 1.5 m.
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 Dammsee 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.

Dammsee is about 7 ft (2 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.
Dammsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 2 Meter (7 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, crucian carp, roach, rudd, tench on Dammsee. 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 5 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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 Dammsee 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.
