Rating depth structure for northern pike.

15.7-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Auf der Karte umfasst Großer Stiegsee 6,5 Hektar hinter 1.1 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.3) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 88% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Keetzsee, 1.6 km Richtung Nordwesten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Großer Stiegsee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 6 m (20 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht und Karpfen. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 2 to 6 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 5 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.
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 | Break off the point (2 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 |
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. Fall northern pike concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2 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 | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: common carp sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2 to 6 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 5 m of water that rates prime for common carp in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around 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 | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | open water | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 2 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

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

| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2 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 |
3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 5 m, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Großer Stiegsee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

Großer Stiegsee 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.
Großer Stiegsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 6 Meter (20 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common carp, roach on Großer Stiegsee. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 17 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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.
Fishing on Großer Stiegsee is regulated by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (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.
