Crystal Lake 16/17
« on: Dec 12, 2016, 06:38 AM »
Anyone see that picture on Facebook of a tank perch taken or of crystal lake?? Must have been a survivor of the fish kill.  Used to be my go to Lake before the fish kill as it was 5 miles away,  but it hasn't been worth the time lately.  Please post any updates if you've fished it.  We always had good luck on crappie on the edge of the dredge cuts.

I have a feeling that fish wasn't taken from crystal, but could have been.  I know first hand there are fish in crystal yet, they are just a bit harder to get on and catch.

I also highly doubt it was a crystal lake fish.  Seems like an attempt to drive people away from two other lakes with nice perch in them

So has there been anything biting on Crystal Lake? Or are they just fishing the little pond to the NE?

I went to Crystal yesterday. Turned the lake into Swiss cheese and covered a lot of water. Didn't mark anything shallower than 14 fow. Caught a ton of 5-8" crappies in the dredge cuts but that was about it. Couple small gills mixed in. I think it'll need a few years still to bounce back
