193.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 78 Hektar mit 3.7 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Selchower See, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3.5 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.
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 (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 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 1 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 3.5 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 | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2.5 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.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 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 | 1 to 3.5 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 | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, common carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 3.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 3.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3.5 m through summer, 1 to 3.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 3.5 m of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Spring puts rudd in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 3.5 m, wintering in 1 to 3.5 m. Spring rudd concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.
