28.5-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 10 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 12 Hektar mit 1.4 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 54% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kleiner Gadowsee, 1.6 km Richtung Süden.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank 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. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 9 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in 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 (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (9 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding 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. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 (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 | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european eel use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 6 m. Summer is a 2 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 9 m, prime for winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.
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 | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (3.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 5.5 m before dropping to 3 to 10 m for winter. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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 (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring tench on Pfarrsee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 9 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday | Break off the point (3.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 10 m, then a winter hold in 3 to 10 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 3.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
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 | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 3 to 10 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 | 3 to 10 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 | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (9 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Pfarrsee carries 4 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 9 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 Pfarrsee 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.

Pfarrsee is about 33 ft (10 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.
Pfarrsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 10 Meter (33 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, european eel, roach, tench, zander on Pfarrsee. 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 30 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 Pfarrsee 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.
