401-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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 161 Hektar mit 5.5 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 75% 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 1.4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Oberuckersee, 1.6 km Richtung Südosten.

Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 7.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 6 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
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 | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) |
When the water first warms, crucian carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are 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. 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 & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Break off the point (3 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Spring european eel on Potzlower See hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 6 m. They move out to 2 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 9 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 8.5 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) |
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are 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. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

| 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 (8.5 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 (8.5 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 (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Potzlower See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| 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 (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 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 roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

Anglers target common bream, crucian carp, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, ruffe, white bream, zander on Potzlower See.
Shallow feeding flat is the top-rated area: a feeding flat in about 20 ft of water that rates prime for common bream in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For common bream, 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.
