523.5-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 2.5 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 Fahrländer See 211 Hektar hinter 6.1 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Sacrow-Paretzer Kanal, 1.6 km Richtung Westen.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 2.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
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 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 2.5 m, wintering in 1 to 2.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

Spring puts zander in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 2.5 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 2 m, rated prime for fall zander. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: common carp in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2.5 m through summer, 1 to 2.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for common carp in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Spring puts asp in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 2.5 m. Summer asp concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 0.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Come spring, look for bleak tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 2.5 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon is the honest summer answer here.
