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 Werbellinsee im Barnimer Land gehört zu den klarsten Seen Brandenburgs. Mit seiner beeindruckenden Sichttiefe von bis zu 7 Metern und einer maximalen Tiefe von 55 m ist er ein Gewässer der Superlative – eingebettet in dichte Buchenwälder des Biosphärenreservats Schorfheide-Chorin.
Water structure
Das Seebecken fällt an vielen Stellen steil ab, was dem See seinen Rinnencharakter verleiht. Der Untergrund ist überwiegend sandig-kiesig mit klarem Wasser. Unterwasserkanten und Plateaus in 8–15 m Tiefe sind die entscheidenden Strukturen für Maränen und Barsche. Krautbewuchs findet sich hauptsächlich in den flacheren Buchten am Nord- und Südufer.
Nature & history
Fontane nannte ihn das „Auge der Mark“ – der Werbellinsee entstand während der letzten Eiszeit als Rinnensee. Er liegt vollständig im UNESCO-Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin und ist von alten Buchenwäldern umgeben, die zum Weltnaturerbe zählen. Das legendäre Maränen-Angeln im Winter hat hier eine jahrzehntelange Tradition.
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.
