• Where to Fish on Norr Lake

Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Baraga County cover yellow perch, pink salmon and white sucker. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. The shape of Norr Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 63°F and January reads 10°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. At Norr Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Dommer Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Norr Lake locally before you travel.
