300.3-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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Auf der Karte umfasst Großer Präßnicksee 121 Hektar hinter 7.4 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.9) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 49% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kleiner Prüßnicksee, 1.6 km Richtung Osten.

Early season bleak use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 3 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 7.5 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season common bream use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 7.5 m, then a winter hold in 4 to 13 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 13 m that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 4.5 m | dusk | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | |
| Winter | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (13 m) |
Start shallow in spring: crucian carp sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for crucian carp in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a weed flat in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-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 (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring roach on Großer Präßnicksee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 11 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.
| 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 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
