Catch limits (daily take, hand rod)
These details are a quick overview. The water regulations of your fishing permit are always binding.
Brandenburg Fisheries Act (state law): BbgFischG only regulates one species explicitly: max. 3 eels per day with the hand rod (in waters without a fish migration link max. 5; silver eel exempt). Daily limits for other species follow from the respective water regulations.
Other daily limits depend on the water regulations that apply to your water — please check your permit before fishing (e.g. DAV or a private steward).

History & character.
Character
Der Senftenberger See ist das Herzstück des Lausitzer Seenlands – ein geflutetes Tagebaurestloch, das sich in nur wenigen Jahrzehnten zu einem der beliebtesten Bade- und Angelseen Brandenburgs entwickelt hat. Mit seiner Fläche von 13 km² bietet er weitläufige Wasserflächen mit überraschend guter Wasserqualität.
Water structure
Typisch für einen Tagebausee: steile Uferböschungen, klares Wasser und ein überwiegend sandiger bis kiesiger Grund. Die maximale Tiefe beträgt 25 m. Da der See künstlich entstanden ist, fehlen natürliche Altarme, dafür bieten die regelmäßigen Unterwasserstrukturen aus der Bergbauzeit – Kanten, Plateaus und Rinnen – interessante Angelplätze.
Nature & history
Wo bis 1966 Braunkohle abgebaut wurde, entstand durch Flutung einer der größten künstlichen Seen Ostdeutschlands. Der Senftenberger See ist Pionier des Lausitzer Seenlands, in dem ehemalige Tagebaue zu einer zusammenhängenden Wasserlandschaft verbunden werden. Seit den 1970er-Jahren wird der See fischereilich bewirtschaftet.
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.
