Groß Behnitzer See

Groß Behnitzer See, in Brandenburg, Germany, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off.

Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Groß Behnitzer See usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.
