10.1-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Auf der Karte umfasst Loofsee 4 Hektar hinter 0.8 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 41% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Groß Labenzer See, 1.6 km Richtung Nordwesten.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shoreline break (7.5 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 |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Time it for early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) |
Start shallow in spring: crucian carp sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for crucian carp in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Shoreline break (7.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Spring roach on Loofsee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 11 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Shoreline break (7.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: tench sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 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 | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday | open water | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) |
3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 10 m, is the deepest of them.
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 Loofsee 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.

Loofsee 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.
Loofsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 11 Meter (37 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common carp, crucian carp, roach, tench on Loofsee. 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 6 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 Loofsee 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.
