Lehnitzsee

Tucked into Brandenburg, Germany, Lehnitzsee is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lehnitzsee should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Round goby

  Gobies are bottom dwellers; fish your bait or lure close to the bottom, using a slow retrieve or vertical jigging technique.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
