525.9-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 14 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 Stienitzsee 212 Hektar hinter 9 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 46% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.2 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kalksee Woltersdorf, 6.4 km Richtung Südwesten.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 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 (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 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.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 11 m, wintering in 6 to 12 m. Fall zander concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 6.5 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 (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common carp in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4.5 m, wintering in 3 to 9 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.
| 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 | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | open water |
Come spring, look for bleak tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 0.5 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 6.5 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
When the water first warms, common bream slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 7.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 5.5 to 14 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow feeding flat: a feeding flat around 6 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Back-bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (14 m) |

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common carp, bleak, common bream, european eel, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, wels catfish, white bream on Stienitzsee.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every 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.
