Crooked Lake is a 115 acre class 30 lake in Anoka County primarily managed for Walleye and Channel Catfish. Largemouth Bass are a secondary management species. Walleye fry are currently stocked in the spring of odd numbered years at a rate of 2,000 per littoral acre (172,000 fish), and Channel Catfish yearlings are stocked at a rate of 30 per littoral acre (2,600 fish), also in odd numbered years. A winter aeration system to reduce winterkill was installed in 1987 and stocking of Walleye and Channel Catfish was initiated in 2001. A special catch and release only regulation for Largemouth Bass was implemented in 2002, and is still in effect.
