123.7-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 8 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 50 Hektar mit 4.8 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.9) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 68% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Wutzsee b. Liebenwalde, 1.6 km Richtung Westen.

Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 7.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 8 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 7.5 m of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
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 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) |
Spring european eel on Kuhpanzsee hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 6 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 8 m, and by winter most fish are in 2.5 to 8 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 7.5 m, prime for winter. Prime time lands in after dark and the evening.

| Herbst | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (2.5 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 8 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Kuhpanzsee hold shallow, usually 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. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #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 | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 5.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 8 m. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, rudd run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 3.5 m before dropping to 2.5 to 8 m for winter. Spring rudd concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.

Kuhpanzsee is about 27 ft (8 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.
Kuhpanzsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 8 Meter (27 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target common bream, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, ruffe, white bream, zander on Kuhpanzsee.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 25 ft of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For common bream, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Kuhpanzsee 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.
