23.8-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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Auf der Karte umfasst Diestelower See 9,7 Hektar hinter 1.4 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 0.5 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kleiner Medower See, 3.2 km Richtung Nordosten.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring 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 (1 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 |

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1.5 to 5 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 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 (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 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, common bream slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 1.5 to 5 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 5 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 4.5 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 (1 m) | |

| Winter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common carp in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for common carp in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

| Winter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european eel in 1 to 5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 5 m through summer, 1.5 to 5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4.5 m range, prime in winter. Time it for after dark and the evening.

When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 5 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 and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

Diestelower See also holds tench (1 to 3.5 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Diestelower See carries 4 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 4.5 m down.
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 Diestelower 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.

Diestelower 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.
Diestelower 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, european eel, roach, tench on Diestelower 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Open the map above to see every rated 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 Diestelower 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.
