Stocking Notes: Stocking access is the same as public access.
Crystal Lake was first stocked by ADFG with rainbow trout (RT) fingerling in 1963 then coho salmon (SS) in 1964. RT plants began again in 1982 and have continued through 2010. Crystal Lake has a small outlet that would allow fish into Long Lake/Willow Creek and triploid all-female RT are stocked. For two years Crystal Lake was limited to catch and release fishing, but since October 1998, with the Board of Fisheries meetings, catch and possession limits are now 5 rainbow trout with only one over 20 inches. After reports of northern pike, one NP was captured during netting in 2005. Crystal should be closely monitored. If NP become too prevalent stocking of RT fingerling will be futile.
