463.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 8 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Auf der Karte umfasst Untersee 187 Hektar hinter 12.2 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.5) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 62% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 5.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Klempowsee, 3.2 km Richtung Süden.

When the water first warms, common bream slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 8 m one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 7 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.
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 4.5 m | dusk | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european eel in 1.5 to 6 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 8 m, wintering in 2.5 to 8 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 7 m range, prime in winter. Time it for after dark and the evening.

| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (6.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (6.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (6.5 m) | |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 8 m. Back-bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 2.5 to 8 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 0.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (6.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, ruffe run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 8 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 7 m, rated prime for summer ruffe. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a micro jig most summer days.

| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | open water | Tiny bottom jig |

Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 7 m.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Untersee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Untersee is about 27 ft (8 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.
Untersee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 8 Meter (27 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target common bream, european eel, european perch, roach, ruffe on Untersee.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 23 ft of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For common bream, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Untersee is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (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.
