Your Family Operated Hatchery

Our Introduction

Welcome to Crystal Lake Fisheries, Inc.

For over seventy years the Emerson family and Crystal Lake Fisheries have been fulfilling your live trout needs. Spawning, hatching, and raising our registered strain of Rainbow Trout in pure cold Ozark Mountain spring water at our farm near Ava, Missouri, we provide live Rainbow Trout for fishing. We specialize in a private stocking for individuals, organizations, pay fishing lakes and streams, portable trout ponds and sports shows, as well as delivering to states, counties, cities, and parks.

Using our fleet of modern fish hauling trucks, Crystal Lake Fisheries delivers our beautiful Emerson Strain Rainbow Trout to you up to 1,200 miles away, year-round.

From fingerlings to catchable to trophies, Crystal Lake Fisheries is your source for live delivery of hard-fighting, beautiful, healthy, delicious Rainbow Trout.
