17-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake 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 Grimmsee 6,9 Hektar hinter 1.3 km Uferlinie. 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 Zarnsee, 1.6 km Richtung Osten.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
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. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for fall european perch. 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 | Break off the point (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | 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. Fall northern pike concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 1 m. 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.

| 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 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 4.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 4.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (3.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Start shallow in spring: european eel sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4.5 m covers summer, 1 to 4.5 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3.5 m range, prime in winter. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Deep basin (3.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3.5 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

Spring puts tench in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 4.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for winter tench. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Grimmsee carries 3 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 3.5 m down.
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 Grimmsee 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.

Grimmsee is about 14 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.
Grimmsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (14 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, european eel, roach, tench on Grimmsee. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 12 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Grimmsee 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.
