History & Status of the Fishery

While there was a fair number of fish caught during the 2021 survey on Norway Lake, no species really stood out as a species to travel to the lake and target. Northern Pike numbers were the high at 20.8/gill net and average size was 20.4". While 28% fell within the 22-26" protected slot there were plenty below (60%) to harvest and enough larger fish above 26" (12%) to keep things interesting. Walleyes are not stocked into Norway and none were caught for the second straight survey.

Black Crappie numbers were average for this type of lake (4.8/gill net). With 48% of the fish over 8", there are some harvestable fish, however, the largest fish captured was only 9.5". Bluegill numbers were also average at 8.1/trap net, but size was small. Average length was only 5.4" and only 3% were 7" or larger. Yellow Perch were present in average numbers (9.0/gill net) and fish up to 10.8" were captured.
