326.4-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 12 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 Schönfelder See 132 Hektar hinter 9 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.2) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 50% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Stoßdorfer See, 6.4 km Richtung Nordwesten.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 7.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 12 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 11 m of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in 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 (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) |
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring rudd on Schönfelder See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 0.5 to 3.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 9 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Early season white bream use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 12 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 11 m that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 9 m | midday | Break off the point (7 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 12 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Schönfelder See also holds european eel (2 to 8.5 m in summer), ruffe (3 to 9 m in summer), tench (1 to 3.5 m in summer), bleak (0.5 to 4.5 m in summer), common carp (1 to 4.5 m in summer), zander (4.5 to 11 m in summer), ide (1 to 6 m in summer).

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Schönfelder See specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Schönfelder See is about 40 ft (12 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.
Schönfelder See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 12 Meter (40 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target common bream, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, white bream, european eel, ruffe, tench, bleak, common carp, zander, ide on Schönfelder See. This isn't a survey of the lake — none is on record for it — but an informed estimate from the species listed for the nearest surveyed lakes in the region, filtered to this lake's depth and habitat.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 37 ft of water that rates prime for common bream in winter. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each 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.
