670.1-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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Auf der Karte umfasst Oberer Beetzsee 270 Hektar hinter 16.6 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.9) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 97% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 5.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Beetzsee bei Butzow, 4.8 km Richtung Westen.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8 m before dropping to 2.5 to 8 m for winter. The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
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 | 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 |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 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 |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8 m before dropping to 2.5 to 8 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 3.5 m of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
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 | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 1.5 to 6 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 8 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 8 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Sommer | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |

Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 2.5 to 8 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2.5 to 8 m, and winter fish hold in 2 to 8 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 7.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.

Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 8 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
