128-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 4.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Auf der Karte umfasst Krimnicksee 52 Hektar hinter 4.5 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.8 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Krüpelsee, 1.6 km Richtung Osten.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4.5 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
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 | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |

| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1.5 to 4.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Fall zander concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, common bream slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1.5 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 4.5 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) |
In spring, ide run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Fall ide concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

Krimnicksee is about 15 ft (5 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.
Krimnicksee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 5 Meter (15 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common bream, ide, roach, rudd, ruffe, white bream on Krimnicksee.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every 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 Krimnicksee is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (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.
