Default Crane lake

Got asked by a friend for info on Crane Lake up by Bonnyville, Cold Lake area. Is there any fish in it? If so how is the fishing there. Can't find any info on it.

Could be under Moore Lake (same lake). Walleye, Pike, Perch. Nice lake smallish in size. No trophies but there are good amounts of fish within. Used to be a decent Perch lake back in the day for 10"-12"ers until it became overfished. About 30min drive North of Bonnyville.

Popular lake for water sports as well. Can get pretty busy.

Hammer handles here and there some walleye but few and far between, small perch if you can find them. Clear water sandy bottom not great fish structure. Mostly used by recreational boaters gets lots of boat traffic. I'd skip it for fishing.
