biologist report from 2007 resulted in a catch of 1672 black crappie and 1567 bluegill. Thirty-five percent of the black crappie and 67 percent of the bluegill were legal. Another 19 white crappie were captured ranging in size from 3 to 10 inches.
From the report:
"48% of the total catch was comprised of black crappie, and 45% of the total catch was comprised of bluegill."

"The best example of how modifications made to existing angling regulations can improve the abundance of larger fish for a given population is depicted by Cross Creek Lake’s bluegill data. The abundance of legal (greater than 7 inches) bluegill collected from trap nets was variable when Conservation Regulations (no minimum length; 10 per day creel limit) were in place from 1986 through 1997. However, with the authorization of Panfish Enhancement Regulations (7 inch minimum length; 20 per day creel limit) in 2000, the abundance of legal-sized bluegill has shown a dramatic increase for each of the past three survey years (2003, 2005, and 2007)."
