4,368.4-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 32 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Auf der Karte umfasst Tollensesee 1 768 Hektar hinter 26.7 km Uferlinie, aufgebrochen durch 2 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.8) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 16% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 10.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.9 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kleiner See bei Krickow, 4.8 km Richtung Süden.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. 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 | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Feeding flat (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (7 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. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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 (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 12 to 27 m game here, winter a 7.5 to 21 m one. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 2 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (7 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (31 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Feeding flat (7 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, european eel run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 6 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 8.5 m before dropping to 5.5 to 15 m for winter. Summer european eel concentrate at Rock reef, a prime-rated rock pile around 2 m. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Rock reef (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | open water | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Feeding flat (7 m) |
Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 5.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 11 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — feeding flat, 1.5 m, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Feeding flat (7 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: vendace sit in 2.5 to 9 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7.5 to 20 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 15 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Micro silver spoon, Tiny white jig |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 20 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Micro jig fished vertically, Tiny flutter spoon |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Tiny silver spoon, Micro mormyshka |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | open water | Tiny ice spoon, Tungsten mormyshka |
Tollensesee carries 13 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 31 m down.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Tollensesee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

Tollensesee is about 105 ft (32 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.
Tollensesee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 32 Meter (105 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, european eel, roach, vendace on Tollensesee.
Rock reef is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Tollensesee is regulated by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (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.
