I have spent the last 10 summers coming up to Big Crooked Lake. This lake has all of the species you'd ever want to catch: bluegill, perch, northern pike, walleye, rock bass, largemouth and smallmouth bass. You can catch them just about anywhere on the lake and by using almost any kind of artificial or live bait. This is a great lake for kids too especially if you fish by the beaver lodges and use a worm, you'll always catch nice blue gill or rock bass.
