History & character.
Character
Der Parsteiner See in der Uckermark gehört zu den weniger bekannten, aber landschaftlich schönsten Seen Brandenburgs. Mit 10 km² Fläche ist er überraschend groß, dabei ruhig und wenig frequentiert. Seine ausgedehnten Schilfgürtel und die hügelige Umgebung schaffen ein Angelerlebnis mit Wildnis-Charakter.
Water structure
Tiefer Klarwassersee mit bis zu 31 m Tiefe und ausgezeichneter Sichttiefe (~3 m). Über 12 Unterwasserkuppen und -rücken – Echolot empfohlen. Breite Schilfgürtel umrahmen fast das gesamte Ufer. Motorboote verboten, nur Ruder- und E-Boote erlaubt. Shore-Angeln kaum möglich – Boot fast zwingend.
Nature & history
Der Parsteiner See liegt im Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin und ist ein Hotspot der Vogelbeobachtung: Fischadler, Seeadler und Kraniche brüten hier in großer Zahl. Das nahe Kloster Chorin aus dem 13. Jahrhundert zieht Besucher an, während der See selbst angenehm unentdeckt bleibt. Archäologische Funde belegen slawische Fischerei seit über 1.000 Jahren.
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.
