8.3-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 3 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.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 3,2 Hektar mit 0.6 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Langer See, 1.6 km Richtung Nordwesten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Viersee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 3 m (10 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Karpfen und Hecht. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Spring european perch on Viersee hold shallow, usually 1 to 3 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3 m in summer, 1 to 3 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
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 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring common carp on Viersee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 0.5 to 3 m in summer, 1 to 3 m once it turns cold. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run 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 | 0.5 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) |
Come spring, look for european eel tight to the bank in 1 to 3 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 3 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 2.5 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 3 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

| 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 | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for tench tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

The chart marks 3 structure features on Viersee; the deepest is Deep basin at about 2.5 m.
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 Viersee 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.

Viersee is about 10 ft (3 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.
Viersee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 3 Meter (10 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, common carp, european eel, northern pike, tench on Viersee. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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 Viersee 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.
