118.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 9 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 48 Hektar mit 5.5 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.2) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 86% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.8 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Göhlensee, 8 km Richtung Nordosten.

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 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 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 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 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 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 7.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 9 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning 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 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) |
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 2.5 to 9 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 9 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 | Break off the point (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Deep basin (9 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) |
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 2.5 to 9 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 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 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (9 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (9 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
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 2.5 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 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.
