Crawford State Park is known as a quality perch and crappie fishery. Anglers may reel in a lunker channel catfish, a dandy largemouth bass or a nice northern pike. Because of the popularity of summer water-based motor sports, the best times to fish are early/late day, weekdays or non-summer weekends.
Daily fishing limits are:
Yellow perch: no limit
Northern pike: no limit
Crappie: limited to 20
Catfish: limited to 10, and
Bass: limited to 1- must be at least 18” inches. Smaller Bass need to be released.
Fishing is permitted anywhere on the reservoir. Use or possession of minnows or fish for bait is prohibited.
Check the main CPW Fishing page for more information.
