519-acre lake near Vallentuna. The lake tops out around 10 m. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Vattnet ritar ut 197 hektar med 17.5 km strand, med en ö i vattnet. Ett strandindex på 3.5 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 84% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 6.6 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 0.8 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Vallentuna kommun. Issjön ligger 4.8 km åt sydväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 10 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 10 m. Creek inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring zander. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |

When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3 to 10 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (8.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season rudd use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 0.5 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 9 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.

In spring, ruffe run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 9 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 10 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 8.5 m, rated prime for summer ruffe. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a micro jig most summer days.
