395.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 35 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 Wummsee 159 Hektar hinter 8.2 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.8) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 37% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Twernsee, 1.6 km Richtung Osten.

When the water first warms, bleak slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 3 to 10 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 5 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 7.5 to 21 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 11 to 35 m before dropping to 4.5 to 18 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 34 m of water that rates prime for burbot in summer. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait 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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 11 to 35 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (34 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 7.5 m, then a winter hold in 5.5 to 14 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 and the evening.
| 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 (5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) |
Start shallow in spring: european eel sit in 1.5 to 6 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 5.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 5 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (5 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | open water |
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Back-bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring 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.
| 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 (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring european smelt on Großer Wummsee hold shallow, usually 1 to 7.5 m. They move out to 7.5 to 21 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 20 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 7.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 21 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Tiny vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 4.5 to 17 m | dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 20 m | dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Tiny glow jig, Micro ice spoon |
