Heiliger See

Tucked into Brandenburg, Germany, Heiliger See 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 Heiliger See should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Zander

  Use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the lure to sink and trigger strikes from zander lying on the bottom.

• For Common bream

  Bream are often bottom feeders, so use a bait that presents well on the lake or riverbed, and pre-bait the area you plan to fish.

• 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.
