17.2-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 15 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 6,9 Hektar mit 1 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.1) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 30% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kleiner See, 0 km Richtung Nordosten.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Shoreline break (12 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, common carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 9 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | open water |
Early season european eel use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 6 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 5.5 to 15 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 14 m that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | open water | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | Shoreline break (12 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (14 m) |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 5.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 11 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for spring roach. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | open water | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Shoreline break (12 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Papendorfer See carries 4 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 14 m down.
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 Papendorfer See 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.

Papendorfer See is about 50 ft (15 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.
Papendorfer See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 15 Meter (50 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common carp, european eel, roach on Papendorfer See. 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 5 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Open the map above to see every rated 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 Papendorfer See 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.
