155.7-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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Auf der Karte umfasst Schwansee 63 Hektar hinter 7.1 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.5) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 62% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Pinnower See, 11.3 km Richtung Südosten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Schwansee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 12 m (40 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht und Karpfen. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Back-bay flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-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 (5.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 3 to 9 m for winter. Spring common carp concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) |
Early season common bream use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 12 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow feeding flat — feeding flat, 5.5 m, prime for summer. Best bite is 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 | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (5.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) |
Spring puts european eel in skinny water — 1.5 to 6 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 12 m. Winter european eel concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 12 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (5.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (5.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (5.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) |
Spring roach on Schwansee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common carp, common bream, european eel, roach, rudd, tench, white bream on Schwansee.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 5 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.
