| About: -
Crescent Lake is located high in the cascades 70 miles southwest of Bend. The lake is
appreciated for 4,600 surface acres of deep, clear blue waters
and dramatic mountain views. Early in the season you can catch the Lakers and Browns by flatlining the 10-20 foot range with minnow type lures.( Excalibur Minnows, Rapala's and Bombers). You should try deeper running lures when the sun gets higher.( Excalibur Fat Free Shads, Shad-R's and Rapala Shad Raps). Later in the season the Browns get
tougher with the rise in water temperature. This is the time to concentrate on downrigging for Lakers in the 100-175 foot range. (Flasher and Hootchie combo's,
Flatfish and Apexes take fish through the summer) The Kokanee, once schooled up,
are taken by jigging ( Nordics and Crippled Herring ) and trolling. Pop-gear and
old standbys like the Wedding rings work well and give the Hotspot Kokanee
Killer a try.
Crescent Lake has four campgrounds and a resort within walking distance. (Fishing info provided by
