The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 0.5 to 2 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2 m through summer, 0.5 to 2 m in winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |

Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 0.5 to 2 m covers summer, 0.5 to 2 m covers winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
