At Five Corners, we recognize our importance not only to the local fishing community, but also to summer residents and vacationers, and we pride ourselves on friendly and knowledgable service.

As Crystal Lake's only Bait & Tackle Shop, we're just around the corner from the public boat launch. We offer an assortment of equipment to meet your fishing needs—whether you're hitting the lake or wading one of the area's many streams and rivers.

We're a licensed minnow dealer and always keep fresh supplies of seasonal bait on hand, and we'll share any information we have about the current "hot spots," as well as what's working and what's just being dragged through the water. If something goes wrong with your favorite fishing rod or reel, we can provide repair services. We're also a DNR retail license agent.

Stop in, have a cup of coffee, and tell us what you need. If we don't have it, we'll do our best to get it for you.
