1,918-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 10 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Auf der Karte umfasst Grimnitzsee 774 Hektar hinter 12.4 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.3) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 56% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 4.2 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.9 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Gruminsee, 3.2 km Richtung Nordosten.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) |
Spring bleak on Grimnitzsee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 10 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow feeding flat — feeding flat, 3.5 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (3.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring common bream on Grimnitzsee hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 7.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 10 m. Put Shallow feeding flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 3.5 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (3.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (9.5 m) |
In spring, european eel run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 6 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 10 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9.5 m, rated prime for winter european eel. Time it for after dark and the evening.
