WHEN ANGLERS THINK OF LARGEMOUTH FISHING IN OUR REGION, NORTON (KEITH SEBELIUS LAKE), IS LIKELY THE MOST COMMON WATERBODY THAT COMES TO MIND FOR MOST ANGLERS. PRIMARILY FOR THE FACT THAT THIS PLACE IS TYPICALLY CHUCK FULL OF LARGEMOUTH. ON AN AVERAGE YEAR ANGLERS CAN OFTERN CATCH DOZENS OF KEEPER SIZED FISH IN AN OUTING. TOURNAMENTS OFTEN HAVE COOKIE CUTTER TYPE WEIGH-INS WHERE OUNCES SEPERATE THE ENTIRE FIELD.

​

NORTON, AT FULL POOL, IS CLOSE TO 2,200 SURFACE ACRES AND IS FED BY PRAIRIE DOG CREEK. ANGLERS CAN TARGET BASS FROM THE DAM ALL THE WAY PAST HIGHWAY 383 ON HIGHER WATER YEARS. NORTON'S UPPER END IS LOADED WITH STANDING TIMBER​, LAYDOWNS, AND COTTONWOOD SAPLINGS. THE MID SECTION AND LOWER END CAN OFFER SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF ISOLATED COVER, ALONG WITH OVER A HALF DOZEN OF RELATIVELY DECENT SIZED COVES THAT ANGLERS CAN ACCESS. ​​​​​​
