210.4-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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 85 Hektar mit 5 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.5) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 80% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Schönfelder See, 6.4 km Richtung Südosten.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: bleak in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 4.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 1.5 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.
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 | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (9 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring puts common bream in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 7.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 9 m. Fall common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 9 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Spring european perch on Stoßdorfer See hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 9 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

| 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 (9 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 (9 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 (9 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 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 |
Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 5.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 9 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Start shallow in spring: rudd sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

Stoßdorfer See 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.
Stoßdorfer See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 9 Meter (30 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target bleak, common bream, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, white bream on Stoßdorfer See.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for bleak in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For bleak, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
