217.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 87 Hektar mit 6.9 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2.1) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.7 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Zeuthener See, 1.6 km Richtung Nordwesten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Großer Zug, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 4 m (12 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht, Zander und mehr. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Spring european perch on Großer Zug hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3.5 m in summer, 1 to 3.5 m once it turns cold. Put Back-bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
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 | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 3.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Spring puts common bream in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3.5 m. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: rudd sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 3.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Come spring, look for ruffe tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3.5 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

Spring puts white bream in skinny water — 0.5 to 3.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for fall white bream. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Großer Zug is about 12 ft (4 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 Zug ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, roach, common bream, rudd, ruffe, white bream, northern pike, european eel, tench, zander, bleak, common carp on Großer Zug. This isn't a survey of the lake — none is on record for it — but an informed estimate from the species listed for the nearest surveyed lakes in the region, filtered to this lake's depth and habitat.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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 Zug 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.
