1,063-acre lake near Södertälje. The lake tops out around 7 m. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
På kartan täcker Måsnaren 327 hektar innanför 20.8 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 6 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 3.2) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 89% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 4.2 km, som bredast 1.6 km. Vattnet hör till Södertälje kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Vaskasjöarna Nv, 4.8 km åt söder.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 7 m game here, winter a 2 to 7 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

Spring northern pike on Måsnaren hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.

| 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 (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 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 |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 7 m game here, winter a 2 to 7 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 3 m of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.

| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 2 to 7 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 5.5 m, wintering in 2 to 7 m. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |

In spring, rudd run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 3.5 m before dropping to 2 to 7 m for winter. Spring rudd concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.

Early season ruffe use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 7 m game here, winter a 2 to 7 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 6 m, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a micro jig and you're in the game.
