166.9-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 10 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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Dollgowsee 67 Hektar hinter 5.8 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 78% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Schlabornsee, 1.6 km Richtung Nordosten.

When the water first warms, bleak slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 9.5 m that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 3 to 10 m. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 10 m through summer, 2.5 to 10 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 9.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and midday. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.
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 | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 2.5 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 7.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow feeding flat: a feeding flat around 6 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is 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 | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) |
Start shallow in spring: european eel sit in 1.5 to 6 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 10 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 9.5 m of water that rates prime for european eel in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (9.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Deep basin (9.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) |
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. Fall european perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 9.5 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| 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 | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Secondary point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
