• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 49°F in January up to 81°F in July. The whole calendar is open, with dawn and dusk the productive hours in summer. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Plan around that when you fish Crystal Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
