18.3-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 7 m. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 7 m, wintering in 2 to 7 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
