Schönfelder See

Anglers know Schönfelder See as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Brandenburg, Germany. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Schönfelder See is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
