Crystal Lakes
GENERAL: All anglers are required to VISIBLY WEAR their Crystal Lakes guest fishing pass. You must obtain a guest fishing pass at the Association’s office, located just inside the Crystal Lakes entrance on Tami Road. A Colorado Fishing License is not required to fish in any lake or pond on Crystal Lakes property, but is required to fish the streams. Children under the age of 15 are not required to have a Colorado Fishing License.
CATCH AND RELEASE AREAS:
Eight (8) fish in storage per angler. Fish caught and placed on a stringer, in a container or live well, or not returned to the water immediately are counted in the daily bag limit. Do not continue to fish after you have caught your limit.
Lone Pine Realty rents two canoes and one rowboat for use on Crystal Lake. The charge is $15.00 per day or $10 per half day. You must pay for the rental at the Lone Pine Realty Office and pick up the oars, paddles and life jackets at the time you pay. The boat and canoes are stored in the boat storage area at Crystal Lake. You may not launch a boat of your own and Crystal Lake is the only lake that allows boats of any kind. You must have one life jacket on board per occupant.
The shelter must be placed by hand. NO VEHICLES of any type are allowed on the ice. All ice fishing shelters must be removed when not in use.
The Crystal Lakes Fishing Board
monitors the fishing program and enforces the fishing regulations. Abuse of or failure to cooperate with a fishing
security person is a regulation violation. Fishing security persons have the authority to confiscate guest passes
from violators, make creel checks, and confiscate fish as evidence of
violation. |

All other fish caught with bait must be kept. Tiger Muskies must be kept regardless of how they are caught. Please notify the RFSI office or a patrolman when a Tiger Muskie is caught.

Area Public Lakes
The public lakes in the immediate Red Feather Lakes area are:
Please note there are many private lakes for member use only surrounding Red Feather Lakes and within the Crystal Lakes Subdivision boundaries. All private lakes are patrolled regularly. In order to fish the public lakes, rivers and streams adults MUST have a valid Colorado fishing license. You may purchase a 1 day, 5 day or annual (resident or non-resident) license locally at the general stores in the Red Feather Village. Children under the age of 16 do not need a fishing license and can take a full bag and possession limit.
The Colorado Division of Wildlife maintains a website that
lists all the current fishing rules and regulations. We recommend you visit this website: www.wildlife.state.co.us
for information about fishing in the Red Feather Lakes area. Many of the streams and
rivers are catch and release only, so you need to be familiar with the specific
area in which you intend to fish. |
