156.9-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 13 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Das Gewässer zeichnet 63 Hektar mit 6.1 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.2) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 59% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Brückentinsee, 3.2 km Richtung Norden.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 7.5 m; cold water stacks them in 4 to 13 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 12 m range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
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 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (9 m) | |
| Winter | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) |
Spring european eel on Großer Kastavensee hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 6 m. They move out to 2 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 13 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 12 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (9 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (9 m) | |
| Winter | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (9 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Großer Kastavensee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 11 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (9 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (9 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, rudd run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for spring rudd. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | open water | Micro jig |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | open water | Tiny mormyshka |
