Lake Norrsken near Medford Lakes: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lake Norrsken stands in Burlington County, New Jersey. The surface lies 82 feet up. About 6 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Burlington County are larger. The closest town, Medford Lakes, is 3.6 miles away. Philadelphia sits 17 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Lake Norrsken

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Burlington County records list pumpkinseed, bluegill, largemouth bass and chain pickerel among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Lake Norrsken before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 75°F on average, January about 32°F. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That shapes the year on Lake Norrsken.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Expect 0.9 miles away in from where the car goes. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Van Dal Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat Lake Norrsken as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
