340.6-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 22 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 Straussee 137 Hektar hinter 8.7 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2.1) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 24% 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 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Fängersee, 3.2 km Richtung Westen.

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 Shallow 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 | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 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 2 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 (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow 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 3.5 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 | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 6.5 to 22 m game here, winter a 7.5 to 21 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 21 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon 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 | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (21 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (21 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 1.5 to 6 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 9 m, wintering in 2.5 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 3.5 m range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Herbst | 3 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4.5 m) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 2.5 to 12 m | dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 7.5 to 21 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6.5 to 22 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 18 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 21 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.
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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (21 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (21 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (21 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (21 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
