History & character.
Character
Der Grunewaldsee ist mit 17 ha einer der größten Seen der Grunewaldseenkette und liegt mitten im Grunewald-Forst. Am Westufer steht das historische Jagdschloss Grunewald (1542), Berlins ältestes erhaltenes Schloss. Der See ist staatliches Forstgewässer und wird vom Fischereiamt Berlin bewirtschaftet.
Water structure
Etwa 1,2 km lang, 200 m breit, max. Tiefe 9 m. Das Westufer ist naturnah und bewaldet, das Ostufer flacher mit Sandstränden (Hundeauslaufgebiet). Klares, oligotrophes Wasser mit guter Sicht.
Nature & history
Der Grunewaldsee ist seit dem 16. Jahrhundert kurfürstliches Jagdrevier. Joachim II. ließ 1542 das Jagdschloss errichten. Heute ist der See Teil eines Landschaftsschutzgebiets mit ungewöhnlich diverser Fischfauna durch jahrhundertelange forstwirtschaftliche Hege.
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.
