• Where to Fish on Norway Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Lennox and Addington County include pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass and bluegill. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Norway Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 20°C and January reads -10°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Norway Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Overnight stays are possible 670 m away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Norway Mud Lake is 1.2 km distant. For Norway Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
