117.4-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 9 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 47 Hektar mit 3.2 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.3) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 64% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kölpinsee, 4.8 km Richtung Südwesten.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 2.5 to 9 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Stiernsee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Stiernsee carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 8.5 m down.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Stiernsee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Stiernsee is about 30 ft (9 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.
Stiernsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 9 Meter (30 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike on Stiernsee.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 4 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.
