a friend of ours has a house right on the lake - LOTS of icefisherman, targeting mainly yellow perch. Kids brush away the snow and play ice hockey too. Get's kinda crowded... if you've got a kayak or small boat, go up the little river that goes into the lake for decent fishing, alot less pressure, and more cover... the current is really light so it's not hard to navigate.

This pond is one of the most popular ponds in southeastern Massachusetts for ice fishing, being one of the first ponds to ice-up and one of the last to lose its ice. Due to excellent access, the pond is heavily fished. Abundant weed growth in the summer can make fishing and boating difficult. In response to this, the town of Norton has purchased and operates a weed-harvesting machine on the pond during the summer. Fisherman can expect catches of chain pickerel and largemouth bass with an occasional northern pike of ten pounds or more from the 1988 stocking.
