18.1-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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Auf der Karte umfasst Krassower See 7,3 Hektar hinter 1.4 km Uferlinie. 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. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Wülwenowsee, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 2.5 m through summer, 1 to 2.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. 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 | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (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 |
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 2.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 2.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |

Spring common bream on Krassower See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 2.5 m in summer, 1 to 2.5 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 2 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (2 m) | |

| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) |
In spring, european eel 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 european eel concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 2 m. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Deep basin (2 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) |
Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 2.5 m. 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. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: tench in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2.5 m through summer, 1 to 2.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for tench in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

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 Krassower 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.

Krassower See 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.
Krassower See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 3 Meter (9 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, european eel, roach, tench on Krassower 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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 Krassower 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.
