397.8-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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Auf der Karte umfasst Haussee b. Hardenbeck 160 Hektar hinter 10.1 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.3) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 23% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.5 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Warthesee, 3.2 km Richtung Süden.

Come spring, look for bleak tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 0.5 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 10 m. Start at Shallow feeding flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow feeding flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (1 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 7.5 to 21 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 11 to 35 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 18 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 34 m of water that rates prime for burbot in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 (7 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 (7 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (7 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
When the water first warms, common bream slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 5.5 to 14 m one. Start at Shallow feeding flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow feeding flat (1 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) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european eel in 1.5 to 6 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 8.5 m, wintering in 5.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 7 m range, prime in fall. Time it for 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 |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 7 m, rated prime for summer european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 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 |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike 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 bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| 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 | Secondary point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
