Fishing Magelungen: what the data says
524-acre lake near Farsta. The lake tops out around 44 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The drawn water covers 574 acres wrapped in 12.4 miles of bank, broken up by an island. A development index of 3.7 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 74% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.

European Perch fishing at Magelungen
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 8 to 28 ft in summer and finish the year down in 12 to 33 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 5 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
