We get these questions often. What fish are biting in Crystal River FL? What fish live in Crystal River? Are there bull sharks in Crystal River Florida? Crystal River is home to a variety of fish species, including redfish, snook, tarpon, trout, and sheepshead. In the summer months, anglers can also find cobia and kingfish in the area.
