13.6-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 5,7 Hektar mit 1.1 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.4) — 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 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer See, 3.2 km Richtung Süden.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Genzkower See, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 4 m (12 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch und Zander. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 2.5 m that grades prime for fall. 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 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 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3.5 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 1.5 m that grades prime for fall. 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.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, common bream run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 3.5 m. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 2.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | |

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) |
When the water first warms, european eel slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 3.5 m, winter 1 to 3.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | |

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 3.5 m before dropping to 1 to 3.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

When the water first warms, tench slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 0.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Genzkower See specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

Genzkower See is about 12 ft (4 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Genzkower See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, zander, common bream, european eel, roach, tench on Genzkower See.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Genzkower See is regulated by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei). Check the official Germany regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
