Fishing at Lake Crowley is excellent as the season winds down, with fish actively feeding and gearing up for winter. Some real "tanks" have been pulled out lately. Surface temps are around 60°F, and the bite is solid most days. Fish are hitting hard on gold-colored spoons, especially in the morning when trolling the shallows – speeding up can trigger bites. They’re spread across the lake, with hotspots in the North Arm, Hilton, McGee, and even Crooked Creek. Reports say fly anglers are finding fish on midges, though the color varies day-to-day – albinos, copper tigers, blood midges, and gray have all been effective. Assassins are also worth trying as an upper fly.
