On kayak. Only one bite in three In he was granted a license to sell hard liquor by the general court in Plymouth. He opened what was possibly the first public house in Norton at this site. Bay Road, an old Native American trail, is one of the oldest roads in Massachusetts. Along Bay Road were mile markers posts which told travelers how many miles were left till journey's end.

Norton still has two of its original markers. The first burial ground, where Norton's pioneer settlers are buried, is located about yards due east of the site of William Witherwell's house. Lots of weeds to hide bait fish and small game fish and lots of lilly pads to target for the larger bass.

In , the town of Norton contracted with weed removal firm to cleanup the various bodies of water in town and remove the over abundance of weeds…. Norton hires company to rid of weeds in water. Last year, in , I found Norton Reservoir to be a totally different place. There was a distinct lack of weeds throughout most of the water.

There were still a few pockets but for the most part the weeds were simply either gone or were going. On the plus side — I was able to put my Nitro Z18 bass boat on the reservoir and actually fish out of it instead of my kayak.

This made it possible to cover a lot more of the place, learn more about it features and locations, and to catch fish! On the negative side — the reduction of the weeds across the entire water body has, in my opinion, had a definite impact upon the fishing. This year, , I have been finding the fishing to be much slower than it has ever been here on the reservoir.

I am hoping that the ecosystems adapt and recover in the future as the clearer reservoir is definitely more enjoyable for more people now than the weed-choked reservoir was. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
