31.8-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 6 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 13 Hektar mit 2.3 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 94% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Stadtsee, 1.6 km Richtung Norden.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 6 m game here, winter a 2 to 6 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 5 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
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 (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 2.5 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, common bream run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 2 to 6 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 5 m, rated prime for fall common bream. Time it for early morning and the evening.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | |

| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
When the water first warms, european eel slide up into 1.5 to 6 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 6 m, winter 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 5 m that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.

| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 5.5 m, wintering in 2 to 6 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2.5 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

When the water first warms, tench slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 2 to 6 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 5 m of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Kleiner Stadtsee carries 4 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 5 m down.
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 Stadtsee 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 Stadtsee is about 20 ft (6 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 Stadtsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 6 Meter (20 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, european eel, roach, tench on Kleiner Stadtsee. 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 17 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Stadtsee 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.
