Quantum oscillation measurements in the new unconventional superconductor YFe$_2$Ge$_2$ resolve all four Fermi surface pockets expected from band structure calculations, which predict an electron pocket in the Brillouin zone corner and three hole pockets enveloping the centers of the top and bottom of the Brillouin zone. The carrier masses are uniformly renormalized by about a factor of five and broadly account for the enhanced heat capacity Sommerfeld coefficient $\simeq 100$ mJ/molK$^2$. Our data highlight the key role of the electron pocket, which despite its small volume accounts for about half the total density of states, and point towards a predominantly local mechanism underlying the mass renormalization in YFe$_2$Ge$_2$.
