118.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Auf der Karte umfasst Große Lanke 48 Hektar hinter 5 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Oberuckersee, 3.2 km Richtung Norden.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Große Lanke, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 5 m (15 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht, Karpfen und mehr. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Back-bay flat (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 (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1.5 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (3 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 1.5 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 4.5 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 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, 1.5 to 4.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4.5 m of water that rates prime for european eel in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and the evening.

Early season white bream use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 1.5 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 4.5 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Große Lanke is about 15 ft (5 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.
Große Lanke ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 5 Meter (15 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, roach, common bream, european eel, white bream, rudd, tench, bleak, common carp, ruffe, zander on Große Lanke. This isn't a survey of the lake — none is on record for it — but an informed estimate from the species listed for the nearest surveyed lakes in the region, filtered to this lake's depth and habitat.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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 Große Lanke is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (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.
