276.4-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 4.5 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.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 111 Hektar mit 7.7 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2.1) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.7 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Schwedtsee, 3.2 km Richtung Süden.

In spring, bleak run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Winter bleak concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 4.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.
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 (0.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1.5 to 4.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 4.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4.5 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |

| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) |
When the water first warms, crucian carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 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 and the evening.

Spring european eel on Thymensee hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 4.5 m in summer, 1.5 to 4.5 m once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 4.5 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 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.

Thymensee is about 15 ft (5 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.
Thymensee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 5 Meter (15 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target bleak, burbot, common bream, crucian carp, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, white bream, zander on Thymensee.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for bleak in winter. 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.
Fishing on Thymensee is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei). Check the official Germany regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
