113.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 2 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 Petersdorfer See 46 Hektar hinter 6 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.5) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Dehmsee, 8 km Richtung Südwesten.

Spring bleak on Petersdorfer See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 0.5 to 2 m in summer, 0.5 to 2 m once it turns cold. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 0.5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

Spring common bream on Petersdorfer See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 0.5 to 2 m in summer, 0.5 to 2 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 2 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: crucian carp in 0.5 to 2 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2 m through summer, 0.5 to 2 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening.

In spring, european eel run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2 m. Winter european eel concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 2 m. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 0.5 to 2 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2 m through summer, 0.5 to 2 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: ide in 0.5 to 2 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2 m through summer, 0.5 to 2 m in winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for ide in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Petersdorfer See is about 7 ft (2 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.
Petersdorfer See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 2 Meter (7 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target bleak, common bream, crucian carp, european eel, european perch, ide, northern pike, roach, rudd, tench, white bream, zander on Petersdorfer See.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for bleak in fall. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For bleak, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Petersdorfer See is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (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.
