History & character.
Character
Der Wernsdorfer See ist Teil des Dahme-Wasserstraßenverbundes östlich von Königs Wusterhausen. Er liegt zwischen Krossinsee, Seddinsee und dem Oder-Spree-Kanal und ist als Naturschutzgebiet (138 ha) sowie FFH-Gebiet ausgewiesen. Die offene Wasserfläche umfasst rund 75 ha.
Water structure
Sehr flacher See (durchschnittlich 1–2 m, max. 3 m), stellenweise stark verlandet. Ausgedehnte Schilfgürtel, Seerosenfelder und Schwimmblattzonen prägen das Bild. Ideales Habitat für Hecht und Schleie, dazu klassische Friedfisch-Strecken am offenen Wasser.
Nature & history
Nach Kriegsende 1945 wurde Teile des Sees mit Trümmer- und Aschematerial verfüllt – die Wasserfläche schrumpfte um ein Viertel. Heute ist das verlandete Areal wertvoller Lebensraum für Wasservögel. Der Verbindungskanal zur Dahme und zum Oder-Spree-Kanal macht den See bei Bootsanglern beliebt.
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.
