283.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 14 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Auf der Karte umfasst Hölzerner See 114 Hektar hinter 5.3 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.4) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 29% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Klein Köriser See, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

Early season bleak use the shallows, holding 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. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 6 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season common bream use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 5.5 to 14 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 14 m, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (14 m) |
Spring puts european eel in skinny water — 1.5 to 6 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 8.5 m, wintering in 4.5 to 14 m. Winter european eel concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 14 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and the evening.
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 (6 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (6 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (6 m) | |
| Winter | 4.5 to 14 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (14 m) |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 6 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: ide sit in 0.5 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 12 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 6 m of water that rates prime for ide in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Spring roach on Hölzerner See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (6 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
