582.6-acre river near Riesa. 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 season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Auf der Karte umfasst Elbe von Riesa bis Mühlberg 236 Hektar hinter 45.1 km Uferlinie, aufgebrochen durch 10 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 8.3) — 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 14.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 3.9 km.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 4.5 m. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
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 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1 to 4.5 m for winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 4.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 4.5 m. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 1 to 4.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 4.5 m through summer, 1 to 4.5 m in winter. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.

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 Riesa bis Mühlberg 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.
