1,239.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 6 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 500 Hektar mit 14 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.8) — 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 4.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Schaplowsee, 1.6 km Richtung Nordosten.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 2 to 6 m. Start at Back-bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
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 | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, common carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 2 to 6 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 6 m before dropping to 2 to 6 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 5 m of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |

| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 m) | |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 5.5 m before dropping to 2 to 6 m for winter. Spring roach 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 tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

| 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 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (4 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring puts rudd in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 3.5 m, wintering in 2 to 6 m. Spring rudd concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.

Großer Selchower See is about 20 ft (6 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 european perch, northern pike, common carp, common bream, roach, rudd, white bream on Großer Selchower See.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
