506.4-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 22 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.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 204 Hektar mit 7.4 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.5) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 28% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Rahmer See, 3.2 km Richtung Westen.

Spring european perch on Wandlitzer See hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 8.5 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 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 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 (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring zander on Wandlitzer See hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 11 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 12 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 8.5 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: cisco (lake herring) sit in 3 to 12 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6.5 to 22 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 18 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 21 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic 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 | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 6.5 to 22 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 24 m | dawn | Deep basin (21 m) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (21 m) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Spring common carp on Wandlitzer See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 9 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 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 (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (2 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | open water |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: bleak in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 4.5 m before dropping to 3 to 10 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for bleak in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow feeding flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (2 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
