903.7-acre river in Brandenburg, Germany. The river tops out around 10 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Auf der Karte umfasst Havel zw. Schwielow- u. Zernsee 365 Hektar hinter 10.9 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.6) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 89% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 4.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Glindowersee, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

Start shallow in spring: asp sit in 1 to 5.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 7.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 2.5 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
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 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | see map |
| Sommer | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | see map |
| Herbst | 2 to 9 m | midday | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | see map |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 12 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | see map |
In spring, european eel run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 6 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3 to 10 m for winter. Winter european eel concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 9 m. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
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 | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (2.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (9 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 5.5 m game here, winter a 3 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.
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 | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
When the water first warms, rudd slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 9 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. 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 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Tiny mormyshka |

Havel zw. Schwielow- u. Zernsee is about 33 ft (10 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.
Havel zw. Schwielow- u. Zernsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 10 Meter (33 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target asp, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, white bream, bleak, common bream, ide, ruffe, zander on Havel zw. Schwielow- u. Zernsee. 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.
Main-lake point is the top-rated area: a point in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for asp in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For asp, 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 Havel zw. Schwielow- u. Zernsee 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.
