Crestwood Lake is a reservoir in Bergen County, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Crestwood Lake, so those measurements should not be guessed.
Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Crestwood Lake, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.
Fish reported from Crestwood Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.
For Crestwood Lake largemouth, use a shallow crankbait or swim jig to locate fish, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic.
For Crestwood Lake crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Crestwood Lake are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Crestwood Lake are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.
For Crestwood Lake pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.
Keep one search bait and one slower follow-up bait ready so a short feeding window is not wasted on Crestwood Lake. Then compare the incoming-water end of Crestwood Lake with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.
Spring at Crestwood Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Crestwood Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Crestwood Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
