136.4-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 4.5 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 Schwedtsee 55 Hektar hinter 3.5 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.4) — 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 1.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Röblinsee, 1.6 km Richtung Westen.

Early season bleak use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 2.5 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.
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 | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 4.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 4.5 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 4 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (4 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |

| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (4 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Early season common bream use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 4.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 4.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 4 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) |
Spring puts european eel in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 4.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4 m, rated prime for winter european eel. Plan around after dark and the evening in the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

Schwedtsee is about 14 ft (4 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.
Schwedtsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (14 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target bleak, burbot, common bream, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, white bream, zander on Schwedtsee.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for bleak in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For bleak, 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.
Fishing on Schwedtsee is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei). Check the official Germany regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
