Fishing Måsnaren: what the data says
1,063-acre lake near Södertälje. The lake tops out around 23 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 808 acres wrapped in 12.9 miles of bank, broken up by 6 islands. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 89% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
