130-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 10 m. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 53 Hektar mit 6.4 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.5) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 95% 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 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Hofsee, 1.6 km Richtung Südosten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Orthsee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 10 m (33 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht, Zander und mehr. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 8 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 (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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 10 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 10 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 8 m that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 3 to 10 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (8 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 3 to 10 m. Through summer count on 3 to 10 m; the winter hold is 2.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 3 to 10 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (8 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 3 to 10 m | night & midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (8 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 2.5 to 10 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (8 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 8 m.

Orthsee is about 33 ft (10 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart here comes from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the contours reflect measured depths.
Orthsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 10 Meter (33 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, burbot on Orthsee. 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.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 26 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Orthsee 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.
