Spring fishing is great: bass, bluegills & northerns. Many skiers, tubers, & PWC, thinking they own the lake. They seem to like to bother canoes, pantoons and fishermen. Muskie sun themselves in 2-3 FOW in the spring. Crescent holds some very big boyz and girlz. You'd be surprised. Walleye run on the small size 11-13" with occacional 15-16" fish. Perch are in the weeds near the landing and Wausau bay, but must be sorted. Crappies are very active in the spring around the cribs and brush, average size 9-13". Muskie prefer the pink bulldawg and rip-it, along with a large white Mepps bucktails, be ready to figure, since Crescent will yeild many follows.
