Fishing Vällingen: what the data says
927-acre lake near Nykvarn. The lake tops out around 52 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Vällingen draws 936 acres inside 18.4 miles of shoreline — 5 islands included. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 4.3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 69% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
