History & character.
Character
Die Dahme fließt von der Brandenburger Seenplatte durch das südöstliche Berlin bis zur Mündung in die Spree bei Köpenick. Ihr Charakter wechselt zwischen breiten, seeartigen Abschnitten und schmaleren Flusspassagen. Als Angelgewässer bietet sie auf über 30 km vielfältige Reviere für Raub- und Friedfischangler.
Water structure
Die Dahme durchfließt mehrere Seen (Zeuthener See, Langer See) und zeigt daher stark wechselnde Profile. In den Flussabschnitten: 2–4 m Tiefe, sandiger Grund, moderate Strömung. In den Seepassagen: bis 8 m, krautreiche Randzonen. Schleusen und Wehre erzeugen Strömungskanten, die klassische Zanderplätze sind.
Nature & history
Die Dahme war einst ein bedeutender Handelsweg zwischen der Lausitz und Berlin. Reste mittelalterlicher Burganlagen finden sich entlang des Flusslaufs. Die Dahme-Wasserstraße ist heute eine beliebte Route für Sportboote. Im Naturpark Dahme-Heideseen südlich von Berlin haben sich naturnahe Uferabschnitte mit Auenwaldcharakter erhalten.
The fishing year at a glance.
Spring
Water temperature rises slowly. Perch move into shallow bays, pike finish spawning. Best time: from mid-April along weed edges.
Summer
Warm and nutrient-rich. Predators bite early morning or evening. Night fishing for eel and catfish is most productive now.
Autumn
Pike and zander feed up for winter. Large soft swimbaits & a slow presentation get the big ones now.
Winter
Cold and clear. Target species in deeper troughs. Vertical jigging from the boat or a bottom rig at dusk give the best chances.

gavel Specifics of the fishery rules
The Dahme runs through two federal states. In the Berlin section (Köpenick to Schmöckwitz bridge) the Berlin state fishery regulation applies: night fishing is only permitted with explicit approval from the responsible angling association – a special night-fishing permit from Köpenicker Fischervereinigung e.V. is mandatory. In the Brandenburg section (south of the city border, including Lake Zeuthen) the Brandenburg fishery regulation applies: night fishing is generally permitted unless the club has imposed a restriction. Motorboat traffic on Lake Zeuthen is limited to permitted speeds; on the Dahme itself the use of combustion engines may be restricted by the responsible angling federation. Pike closed season in both states: 1 February – 30 April.
All information without guarantee – regulations may change. Always carry a current permit and fishing license when fishing.
