151.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 23 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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Peetzsee 61 Hektar hinter 4.5 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.6) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 41% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Werlsee, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

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 Break off the point, a drop-off in about 9.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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 (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9.5 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 0.5 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 (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 12 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 9.5 m of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Early season bleak use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 3 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | open water | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season common bream use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 7.5 m, then a winter hold in 5.5 to 14 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 9.5 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (9.5 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Break off the point (9.5 m) |
Spring puts european eel in skinny water — 1.5 to 6 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 5.5 to 15 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 9.5 m, rated prime for fall european eel. Plan around after dark and the evening in the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (9.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (9.5 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | open water |
Peetzsee also holds roach (1 to 5.5 m in summer), rudd (0.5 to 3.5 m in summer), ruffe (3 to 9 m in summer), tench (1 to 3.5 m in summer), white bream (2 to 6 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 23 m, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Peetzsee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.
