Racquette River

Hi any of you Northern NY fishermen, I'm heading up to Norwood to stay for a few days on what seems to be a reservoir within the Raquette River but can't find any info on it.  It is on the East side of the point.  I do not believe it is Norwood Lake since that looks closer to Potsdam. Just trying to get an idea of depth and structure around the area and if I will be focusing on walleyes or northerns.  I will be fishing out of my kayak.  Thanks for any info.

Check out DEC map of the river. Should be of help...h2l

Yep found it.  Looks like Norwood Reservoir and it's pretty shallow where I will be.  I think I may try to hook around the bend into the deeper pocket for walleyes if it isn't too far of a paddle.

I went to school up that way a couple of years ago and fished Norwood Reservoir several times. I fished it from shore and had good luck with bass, small and largemouth and an occasional walleye just jigging from shore. There's a road that runs along the west shore I think with a big open area and rip rap bank. Also caught a few near the boat launch. Great little area in the fall.
