1,648.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 7 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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Plauer See 664 Hektar hinter 21.4 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.3) — 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 5.8 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.9 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Möserscher See, 3.2 km Richtung Süden.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Plauer See, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 7 m (23 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht, Zander und mehr. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 7 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 7 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
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 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| 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 | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the 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 |
Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 7 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 7 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for fall zander. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.
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 (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common carp in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 2 to 7 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for common carp in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Plauer See is about 23 ft (7 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.
Plauer See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 7 Meter (23 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common carp on Plauer See.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
