448.1-acre river in Brandenburg, Germany. The river 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 180 Hektar mit 14 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.9) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 94% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 5 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Pritzerber See, 3.2 km Richtung Nordosten.

Come spring, look for asp tight to the bank in 1 to 5.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 7.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 9 m. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.
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 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | see map |
| Sommer | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | see map |
| Herbst | 2 to 9 m | midday | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | see map |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 12 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | see map |
When the water first warms, european eel slide up into 1.5 to 6 m. Summer is a 2 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 9 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 8 m of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.
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 | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (8 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Deep basin (8 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 9 m. Put Back-bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8 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 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 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 5.5 m before dropping to 2.5 to 9 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rudd in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 3.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |

| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (4.5 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (8 m) | Tiny mormyshka |

Anglers target asp, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, white bream, bleak, common bream, ide, ruffe, zander on Tieckowsee; (Havel). This isn't a survey of the lake — none is on record for it — but an informed estimate from the species listed for the nearest surveyed lakes in the region, filtered to this lake's depth and habitat.
Main-lake point is the top-rated area: a point in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for asp in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For asp, 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.
