28.3-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, 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.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 11 Hektar mit 3.4 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.9) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.8 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Lebehnscher See, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

Spring european perch on Schwennenzer See hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 4.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 3.5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
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 | Break off the point (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 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 4.5 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 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 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 1 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 4.5 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come fall. 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 | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts common bream 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. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Spring common carp on Schwennenzer See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 3.5 m, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 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 Break off the point, a drop-off in about 2 m of water that rates prime for roach in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for tench tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 3.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3.5 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Schwennenzer See specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

Schwennenzer See 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.
Schwennenzer See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (14 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, common carp, roach, tench, wels catfish, zander on Schwennenzer See. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 11 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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.
Fishing on Schwennenzer See is regulated by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (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.
