470.6-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 11 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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Kuhzer See 190 Hektar hinter 18.3 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 3.7) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 61% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.2 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.9 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Trebowsee, 3.2 km Richtung Westen.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| 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 | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 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. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| 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 | Break off the point (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 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 |
In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 11 m before dropping to 3.5 to 11 m for winter. Fall zander concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 6 m. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.
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 & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (6 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (6 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: common carp sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 9 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 3.5 to 11 m. The depth story barely changes: 3.5 to 11 m through summer, 2.5 to 11 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 10 m range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and midday. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (10 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (10 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (10 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 2.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (10 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 7.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 10 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Kuhzer See is about 37 ft (11 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.
Kuhzer See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 11 Meter (37 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common carp, burbot, common bream, european eel, roach, rudd, tench, white bream on Kuhzer See.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
