1,060-acre lake near Nyköping. The lake tops out around 10 m. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Runnviken 424 hektar innanför 15.9 km strandlinje. Ett strandindex på 2.2 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 75% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 3.9 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 3.2 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Nyköping kommun. Eknaren ligger 6.4 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 3 to 10 m, wintering in 3 to 10 m. Fall zander concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 4.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | 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 |

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. 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) |

| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
