162-acre river near Heerde. The river tops out around 9 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The chart traces NaN miles of shoreline here — 34 islands included. The shoreline is moderately structured (index NaN) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. For a second option, Nijbroekse Wetering lies 1 mi south.
Vis- en dieptekaart van Grote Wetering, Nederland: gemeten dieptelijnen (Waterschap Vallei en Veluwe) tot 3 m, met visstekken voor baars, snoek, karper. De dieptelijnen zijn berekend uit gemeten bodemhoogten van Rijkswaterstaat en het officiële lokale streefpeil (NAP). Gebruik de kaart als visgids, nooit voor navigatie.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 2 to 9 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 9 ft through summer, 3 to 9 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Measured shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 1 ft 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (1 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (1 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 3 to 9 ft | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 9 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 9 ft. Top water on the chart: Measured shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 1 ft 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (1 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (1 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 3 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (1 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 3 to 9 ft | midday | Measured shallow feeding flat (1 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 2 to 9 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 9 ft, and winter fish hold in 3 to 9 ft. Spring common carp concentrate at Measured shallow feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 1 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|

The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 2 to 9 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 9 ft through summer, 3 to 9 ft in winter. Time it for the evening and early morning. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 9 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Fall | 3 to 9 ft | dusk & night | open water | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 9 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
