864.1-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 350 Hektar mit 10.9 km Ufer, aufgebrochen durch 2 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.7 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist See bei Lindenberg, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Back-bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
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 | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 1 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 3.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.

| 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 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 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 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 2 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 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 to 3.5 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 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 3.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3.5 m through summer, 1 to 3.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) |
Early season european eel use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 3 m that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.

In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 3.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring roach. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

Zierker See also holds wels catfish (1 to 3.5 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Zierker See carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 3 m down.
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 Zierker See 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.

Zierker See is about 12 ft (4 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.
Zierker See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common bream, european eel, roach, wels catfish on Zierker See. 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.
Back-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 Zierker See 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.
