1,678.7-acre river near Dömitz. The river tops out around 5.5 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.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 679 Hektar mit 80.3 km Ufer, aufgebrochen durch 34 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 8.7) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 19.8 km, an der breitesten Stelle 6.4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Rudower See, 16.1 km Richtung Osten.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1.5 to 5.5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 5.5 m. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
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 | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | open water | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1.5 to 5.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1.5 to 5.5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1.5 to 5.5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 5.5 m. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the Portal Fischerei (official federal-state fisheries portal) — and special regulations can apply to Elbe von Lenzen bis Dömitz specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Germany has no single federal recreational-angling rule set. Use the official federal-state portal to identify the responsible Land, then verify its current licence, permit, species, season, size, protected-area and access rules together with any local fishery-right or harbour restrictions before fishing. A DepthScout map is planning context, not permission or legal advice.
