135.2-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 28 m. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 55 Hektar mit 4.8 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.9) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 25% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Trebbower See, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

Spring european perch on Rugensee hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| 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 | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 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. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring zander on Rugensee hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 4.5 to 11 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 12 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 11 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait.
| 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 | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (11 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 7.5 to 21 m. By summer they slide out to 8.5 to 28 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 27 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (11 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 8.5 to 28 m | night & midday | Deep basin (27 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (27 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (11 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 27 m.

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. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
