170.8-acre lake in Brandenburg, 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 Twernsee 69 Hektar hinter 6.3 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2.1) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 34% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kleiner Twernsee, 0 km Richtung Norden.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Back-bay flat (2.5 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 | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring cisco (lake herring) on Twernsee hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 m. They move out to 12 to 24 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 18 m. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 12 to 24 m | dawn | open water | 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 | open water | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 7.5 to 21 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 32 m before dropping to 4.5 to 18 m for winter. Summer burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 31 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait 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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 10 to 32 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (31 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (31 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Time it for early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | open water |
Early season bleak use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 3 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.
| 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 | Main-lake point (2 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 | open water | Tungsten mormyshka |

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, cisco (lake herring), burbot, common carp, bleak, common bream, european eel, european smelt, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, vendace, white bream on Twernsee.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
