149.4-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 Tiefer See oder Grubensee 60 Hektar hinter 3.7 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.4) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 25% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Springsee, 3.2 km Richtung Norden.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. The spot to know is Back-bay flat, a weed flat in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. 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 | Back-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 (9.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9.5 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. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. 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 (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season cisco (lake herring) use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 m. Expect a summer slide to 6.5 to 22 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 18 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 21 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic and you're in the game.
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 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 24 m | dawn | Deep basin (21 m) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (21 m) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Spring bleak on Tiefer See oder Grubensee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 10 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in 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 (0.5 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 | open water | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (9.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring common bream on Tiefer See oder Grubensee hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 7.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 5.5 to 14 m. Put Back-bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (9.5 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Break off the point (9.5 m) |
Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | open water |
