173.3-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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Großer Treppelsee 70 Hektar hinter 7.1 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.4) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 97% 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 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Oelsener See, 3.2 km Richtung Westen.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 1.5 to 6 m, wintering in 2 to 6 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1.5 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 |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 6 m, wintering in 2 to 6 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 5 m range, prime in winter. Time it for the evening and early morning. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4.5 m, wintering in 2 to 6 m. Spring common carp concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
Spring bleak on Großer Treppelsee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 0.5 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2 to 6 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 1.5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon.

Spring common bream on Großer Treppelsee hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 6 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 5 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

Großer Treppelsee is about 19 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 Treppelsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 6 Meter (19 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common carp, bleak, common bream, european eel, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, white bream on Großer Treppelsee.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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 Treppelsee 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.
