8.1-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Auf der Karte umfasst Kleiner See 3,2 Hektar hinter 0.8 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer See, 0 km Richtung Nordosten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Kleiner See, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 4 m (12 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Karpfen und Hecht. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3.5 m through summer, 1 to 3.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
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 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring common bream on Kleiner See hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3.5 m in summer, 1 to 3.5 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 3 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) |
Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 3.5 m, wintering in 1 to 3.5 m. Winter common carp concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | |

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: crucian carp in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 3.5 m, wintering in 1 to 3.5 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 3.5 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

| 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 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 3.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 2 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.

Kleiner See also holds tench (1 to 3.5 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 3 m.
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 See 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 See is about 12 ft (4 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 See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, common bream, common carp, crucian carp, northern pike, roach, tench on Kleiner See. 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 10 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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 See 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.
