890.3-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 19 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 Großer See 359 Hektar hinter 14.8 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.2) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 48% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.7 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Dammsee, 3.2 km Richtung Nordosten.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. 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 (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring roach on Großer See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in 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 (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season common bream use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 5.5 to 14 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow feeding flat — feeding flat, 5.5 m, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) |
Spring puts european eel in skinny water — 1.5 to 6 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 8.5 m, wintering in 5.5 to 15 m. Fall european eel concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 10 m. Warm-month bites cluster around 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 (10 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (10 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) |
Come spring, look for rudd tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 0.5 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 9 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Großer See also holds white bream (2 to 6 m in summer), tench (1 to 3.5 m in summer), bleak (0.5 to 4.5 m in summer), burbot (6 to 19 m in summer), common carp (1 to 4.5 m in summer), zander (4.5 to 11 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
7 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 18 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 See specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Großer See is about 63 ft (19 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 See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 19 Meter (63 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, roach, common bream, european eel, rudd, white bream, tench, bleak, burbot, common carp, zander on Großer See. 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
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 Großer See 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.
