278.2-acre river in Brandenburg, Germany. The river 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 112 Hektar mit 6.3 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 86% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Fahrländer See, 3.2 km Richtung Westen.

Spring european perch on Krampnitzsee b. Potsdam; Havel hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 6 m. The chart's best answer is Back-bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
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 | Back-bay flat (1 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 (5.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (5.5 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 (5.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 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. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, asp slide up into 1 to 5.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 5.5 m that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | see map |
| Sommer | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | see map |

| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 12 m | midday | Deep basin (5.5 m) | see map |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: bleak in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 4.5 m before dropping to 2 to 6 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 5.5 m of water that rates prime for bleak in winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Deep basin (5.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (5.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 2 to 6 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 6 m, winter 1.5 to 6 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 5.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.

| Frühling | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (5.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |

| Winter | 1.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (5.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for european eel tight to the bank in 1.5 to 6 m. Through summer count on 1 to 6 m; the winter hold is 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 5.5 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.
