109.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 9 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 Samithsee 44 Hektar hinter 3.1 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.3) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 64% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Üdersee, 8 km Richtung Norden.

When the water first warms, bleak slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 9 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 4.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon rigged through the warm months.
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 | 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 | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 7.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 9 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 9 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |

| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) |
In spring, crucian carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring crucian carp. Time it for early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: european eel sit in 1.5 to 6 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 9 m range, prime in winter. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |

| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) |
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 9 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9 m, rated prime for fall european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |

In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 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. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Großer Samithsee also holds roach (1 to 5.5 m in summer), rudd (0.5 to 3.5 m in summer), ruffe (3 to 9 m in summer), tench (1 to 3.5 m in summer), white bream (2 to 6 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 9 m, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Großer Samithsee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Großer Samithsee is about 30 ft (9 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.
Großer Samithsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 9 Meter (30 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target bleak, common bream, crucian carp, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, white bream on Großer Samithsee.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for bleak in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For bleak, 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 Samithsee 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.
