Fishing Update
The Fish are Biting on Crescent Lake
submitted by Kerry Ellington, Crescent Creek Cottages & RV
Park
Gil Ernst, Manager of HooDoo’s Crescent Lake Lodge, says the
Macinaw, are bit-ing at Crescent Lake. One 36lb has already been
caught, with several 20+ pounders as well. A 6lb Brown Trout was
pulled out this month. The Kokanee are starting to come to the surface
and have been seen jumping.
Crescent Lake is open all year for fishing. Usually it is
difficult to launch your boat because of the snow. With a light snow
year and Crescent Lake Lodge doing a great job of snow removal on the
beach, fisherman have had a great time. The fuel dock is open and
Crescent Lake has parking for boats. It is limited so call ahead (541)
433-2505. www.crescentlakeresort.com. The restaurant is open seven
days a week.
Mark Bolton, owner of the Odell Sports-man, says he is stocked
up and ready to get fishing season started. The Sportsman sells
fishing licenses, equipment, bait, ice, drinks and snacks. Everything
for a perfect day on the lake! He does the local fish report and can
clue you in on what the fish are biting.

Ellington, of Crescent Creek Cottages & RV Park, says the full
hook-up RV sites and fish cleaning sta-tion are ready to go. The

The Forest Service plans to have the gate open by April 1st for
the boat launch at Crescent Lake. They are working hard to get the
federal campgrounds open by the start of fishing season for other
local lakes, including Odell. Fishing season for those lakes starts
April 24th. (See USFS article)
