28.6-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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 12 Hektar mit 2.3 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.8) — 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 0.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist See bei Karnitz, 1.6 km Richtung Südosten.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 3 m that grades prime for fall. 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.
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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 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 |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 3.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 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.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season common carp use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 3.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) |
When the water first warms, tench slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 0.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Structure-wise the chart holds 5 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 Kniepower 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.

Kniepower 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.
Kniepower See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common carp, tench on Kniepower 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. 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 Kniepower 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.
