132.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 2 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.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 53 Hektar mit 5 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Teetzensee, 11.3 km Richtung Osten.

In spring, common bream run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2 m. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 2 m. 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 | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | |
| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) |
When the water first warms, european eel slide up into 0.5 to 2 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 2 m, winter 0.5 to 2 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 2 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. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 2 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2 m through summer, 0.5 to 2 m in winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 2 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 and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

When the water first warms, ruffe slide up into 0.5 to 2 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 2 m, winter 0.5 to 2 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 2 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

Katerbower See is about 7 ft (2 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.
Katerbower See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 2 Meter (7 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target common bream, european eel, european perch, roach, northern pike, ruffe, rudd, white bream, zander, tench, bleak, common carp on Katerbower See. 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.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For common bream, 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 Katerbower See 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.
