374.3-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 3 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 151 Hektar mit 7.1 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.6) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Ziestsee, 1.6 km Richtung Norden.

In spring, common bream run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3 m, and they winter in 1 to 3 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3 m, rated prime for fall common bream. Time it for early morning and the evening.
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 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3 m. The chart's best answer is Back-bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 3 m through summer, 1 to 3 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

| 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 | 0.5 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 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 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rudd in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 3 m before dropping to 1 to 3 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for rudd in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.

| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
When the water first warms, ruffe slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 3 m, winter 1 to 3 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

In spring, white bream run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3 m, and they winter in 1 to 3 m. Fall white bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Dolgensee is about 10 ft (3 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.
Dolgensee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 3 Meter (10 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target common bream, european perch, roach, rudd, ruffe, white bream on Dolgensee.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For common bream, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
