400.5-acre river near Rathenow. The river tops out around 7.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Auf der Karte umfasst Untere Havel von Rathenow bis Grütz 162 Hektar hinter 48 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 10.6) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 12.2 km, an der breitesten Stelle 4.7 km.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 7.5 m, wintering in 2 to 7.5 m. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
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 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | open water | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 7.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | 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. 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 | 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 |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 2 to 7.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 7.5 m, and winter fish hold in 2 to 7.5 m. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.

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 Rathenow bis Grütz 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.
