139.5-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 9 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 56 Hektar mit 3.2 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 61% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Dolgensee, 1.6 km Richtung Süden.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 9 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8.5 m that scores prime in fall. 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 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 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Secondary point (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 9 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 9 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7.5 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.
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 | Secondary point (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, common carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 9 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.
| 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 bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) |
Spring puts bleak in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 4.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 9 m. Winter bleak concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 8.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.
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 | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 9 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 4.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 7.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 8.5 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening.

6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 8.5 m, is the deepest of them.
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 Ziestsee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Ziestsee is about 30 ft (9 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.
Ziestsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 9 Meter (30 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common carp, bleak, common bream, european eel, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, white bream on Ziestsee.
