182.6-acre lake in Brandenburg, 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 74 Hektar mit 4.5 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.5) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.8 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Wesensee, 3.2 km Richtung Nordosten.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 3.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3.5 m through summer, 1 to 3.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3.5 m range, prime in fall. Time it for 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
When the water first warms, common carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 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 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.

| 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 | 1 to 3.5 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 3.5 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 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 1 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 3.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.

| 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 | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 3.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring roach. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring puts rudd in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 3.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring rudd. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.

Großer Plagesee 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.

Anglers target common bream, common carp, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, tench, white bream on Großer Plagesee.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 11 ft of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For common bream, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Großer Plagesee 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.
