This is a summary based on available information.

Clear, deeper lakes like Big Crooked typically host panfish, bass, pike, and walleyes, with fish using both offshore structure and shoreline cover. Anglers often target points, humps, and drop‑offs with jigs, rigs, and subtle crankbaits, timing trips for dawn, dusk, and breezy days when fish slide shallower. The clear water rewards natural‑colored presentations and careful boat control, especially on calm, sunny days. Because there are relatively few homes and less boat traffic, fish may be less pressured, which is a plus for patient anglers.
