The beauty of this lake is that due to its river like flow, it fishes very much like a large body of water. Big body of water means better chance for better numbers of trophy fish. A 200ft wide channel allow access to Crescent Lake. With an average depths of 15 ft, there are holes ranging from 60-170ft, depending on water levels.
Trophies of both species are caught and released here every season. Average walleye size is 18-20 inches and average pike size is 32 inches, with many over 40 inches.
