402.4-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 18 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 162 Hektar mit 13.8 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 3.1) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 59% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Glabatzsee, 1.6 km Richtung Nordwesten.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 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.
| 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 | Break off the point (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Nehmitzsee 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 2 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 (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 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 |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 11 m game here, winter a 6 to 12 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 5 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary 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 (5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts cisco (lake herring) in skinny water — 3 to 12 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5.5 to 18 m, wintering in 6 to 18 m. Summer cisco (lake herring) concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 17 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic 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 | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 5.5 to 18 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 24 m | dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (17 m) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 5.5 to 18 m. Even in summer they hold at 5.5 to 18 m; winter keeps them in 4.5 to 18 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 17 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (17 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for common carp tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 9 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in 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 | open water |

Nehmitzsee is about 60 ft (18 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.
Nehmitzsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 18 Meter (60 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, cisco (lake herring), burbot, common carp, bleak, common bream, european eel, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, vendace, white bream on Nehmitzsee.
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 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.
