641.8-acre river near Meißen. The river tops out around 4.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Auf der Karte umfasst Elbe von Meißen bis Riesa 260 Hektar hinter 45.1 km Uferlinie, aufgebrochen durch 2 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 7.9) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 17.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 3.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Elbe von Riesa bis Mühlberg, 14.5 km Richtung Nordwesten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Elbe von Meißen bis Riesa, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 5 m (15 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht, Zander und mehr. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Digitales Geländemodell Wasserlauf der Bundesanstalt für Gewässerkunde). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 to 4.5 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 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1.5 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |

| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | open water | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1.5 to 4.5 m covers summer, 1.5 to 4.5 m covers winter. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | open water | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Time it for early morning and the evening.

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 Meißen bis Riesa 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.
