174.9-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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Auf der Karte umfasst Siethener See 70 Hektar hinter 5.6 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.9) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Grössinsee, 6.4 km Richtung Südwesten.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Back-bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 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.
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 | Back-bay flat (1 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 |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4.5 m, wintering in 1 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 | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1 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 | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4.5 m covers summer, 1 to 4.5 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3.5 m range, prime in winter. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
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 1 to 4.5 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 chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Early season bleak use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 0.5 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold 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 winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.

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. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 3.5 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Siethener 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.
Siethener See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (14 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common carp, bleak, common bream, european eel, ide, roach, rudd, tench, white bream on Siethener See.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
