124.9-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 2 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 Stahnsdorfer See 50 Hektar hinter 3.7 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.5) — 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 1.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Wolziger See b. Storkow, 6.4 km Richtung Südwesten.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2 m. Summer keeps them at 0.5 to 2 m, and they winter in 0.5 to 2 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: common carp sit in 0.5 to 2 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 0.5 to 2 m covers summer, 0.5 to 2 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Winter | 0.5 to 2 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) |
Start shallow in spring: european eel sit in 0.5 to 2 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 0.5 to 2 m covers summer, 0.5 to 2 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european eel in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and the evening.

Spring puts ide in skinny water — 0.5 to 2 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 2 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 2 m. Fall ide concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 0.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Come spring, look for roach tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 2 m; the winter hold is 0.5 to 2 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
