6.6-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 2.5 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.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 2,8 Hektar mit 1 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.5) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Lanz, 0 km Richtung Nordwesten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Kleiner Lanz, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 3 m (9 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch und Hecht. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 2.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 2.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) 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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 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 1 to 2.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 2.5 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 0.5 m that grades prime for fall. 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 | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 2.5 m. Winter roach 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. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 2 m, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Kleiner Lanz specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

Kleiner Lanz is about 9 ft (3 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.
Kleiner Lanz ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 3 Meter (9 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, roach on Kleiner Lanz. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Kleiner Lanz is regulated by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (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.
