943.3-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 12 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Auf der Karte umfasst Stolpsee 380 Hektar hinter 11.6 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 47% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.5 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Moderfitzsee, 1.6 km Richtung Nordosten.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 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 | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 11 m, wintering in 6 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 6.5 m range, prime in fall. Time it for the evening and early morning. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (0.5 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 | Deep basin (12 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 3.5 to 12 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3.5 to 12 m, and winter fish hold in 3 to 12 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 12 m, rated prime for spring burbot. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
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 | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 3 to 12 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4.5 m, wintering in 3 to 9 m. Spring common carp concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) |
Spring bleak on Stolpsee hold shallow, usually 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. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 6.5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 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 |
