148.9-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 32 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Das Gewässer zeichnet 60 Hektar mit 4.7 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 29% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Haussee b. Hardenbeck, 3.2 km Richtung Norden.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 7.5 m before dropping to 5.5 to 14 m for winter. The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for common bream in spring. 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 (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) |
Early season european eel use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 6 m. Summer is a 2 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 5.5 to 15 m one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 7 m, prime for fall. Best bite is after dark and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (7 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (7 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (7 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | open water |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Start at Back-bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7 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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
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 3.5 to 11 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (7 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 3.5 to 9 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | open water | Tiny mormyshka |
Großer Warthesee also holds tench (1 to 3.5 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Großer Warthesee carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 31 m down.
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 Warthesee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Großer Warthesee is about 105 ft (32 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 Warthesee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 32 Meter (105 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target common bream, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, tench on Großer Warthesee.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For common bream, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. 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 Warthesee 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.
