285-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Auf der Karte umfasst Wendsee 115 Hektar hinter 8.9 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.3) — 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 2.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Heiliger See, 1.6 km Richtung Südosten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Wendsee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 5 m (17 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht, Zander und mehr. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4.5 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 1.5 to 5 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1.5 to 5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 5 m. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait 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 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (2 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 5 m for winter. Spring common carp concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 0.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Wendsee is about 17 ft (5 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.
Wendsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 5 Meter (17 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common carp on Wendsee.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
