181.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Das Gewässer zeichnet 73 Hektar mit 5.8 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.9) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 47% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Vorder- oder Haussee, 9.7 km Richtung Norden.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| 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 | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 10 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 10 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 7.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
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 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts bleak in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 10 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 10 m, rated prime for winter bleak. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 7.5 m before dropping to 3 to 10 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in about 6 m of water that rates prime for common bream in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

| Herbst | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) |
Early season european eel use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 6 m. Summer is a 2 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 10 m, prime for winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.
