101.9-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 6 m. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Auf der Karte umfasst Stausee Farpen 41 Hektar hinter 9.8 km Uferlinie, aufgebrochen durch 2 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 4.3) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 6 m, wintering in 2 to 6 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| 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 | 2 to 6 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 6 m, wintering in 2 to 6 m. Winter zander concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 4.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m | dusk & night | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 2 to 6 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 6 m covers summer, 1.5 to 6 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2 to 6 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m | night & midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
