    We are looking at going to Norway Lake after labor day, wondering what to expect as how the water quality and fishing is there for panfish and bass mainly.

    Also wondering how heavy the boating traffic is as far as wave runners and speed boats.
    Any info will be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Fished it years ago, nice lake. A bonus is Green Lake in Spicer right down the road

    We’ve got a place on Games Lake, which is attached to Norway via a narrow channel. Norway’s a pretty nice lake. Decent fishing. Boat traffic gets a little heavy at times, but after Labor Day, it usually pretty dead.

    Fishing has been rough the past few weeks. Water clarity on Norway is pretty low; Games is better. That’s quite usual, though.
