532.1-acre river near Garz. The river tops out around 6.5 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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Untere Havel von Grütz bis Garz 215 Hektar hinter 58.9 km Uferlinie, aufgebrochen durch 35 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 11.3) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 98% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 12.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Gülper See, 8 km Richtung Südosten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Untere Havel von Grütz bis Garz, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 6 m (21 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht und Quappe.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 6.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2 to 6.5 m. 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.
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 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 6.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | open water | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 6.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 6.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | 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. 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 | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | open water | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 2 to 6.5 m. Summer keeps them at 2 to 6.5 m, and they winter in 1.5 to 6.5 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.

| Frühling | 2 to 6.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 2 to 6.5 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | open water | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 2 to 6.5 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | open water | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the Portal Fischerei (official federal-state fisheries portal) — and special regulations can apply to Untere Havel von Grütz bis Garz specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Germany has no single federal recreational-angling rule set. Use the official federal-state portal to identify the responsible Land, then verify its current licence, permit, species, season, size, protected-area and access rules together with any local fishery-right or harbour restrictions before fishing. A DepthScout map is planning context, not permission or legal advice.
