The information on this site was provided to us from the lodge or outfitter. Please visit their link to find even more detailed information.
The clean, fresh waters of Lake Clear are home to a variety of game fish sure to delight anglers of every description. You don't need to be an Ike Walton or Roland Martin to enjoy the fishing. Pike, walleye, smallmouth bass and lake trout are all found in our waters. In addition; pan fish such as rock bass, bluegill and yellow perch are easily caught from shore.
Smallmouth Bass - Probably one of the most exciting things that you can do at age 6 or 60 is to hook into one of Lake Clear's fighting smallmouth. Pound for pound they are probably one of nature's greatest thrills. Lake Clear smallmouth average two and one half to three pounds. Four and five pound smallmouth, while not as frequently caught, are not uncommon. Our bass season opens the last Saturday in June and runs through November 30. Fishing is best during the first couple of weeks but can slow down quickly during the hot weather. Late August and September bring the strikes back on with a vengeance and provide some of the best fishing and scenery of year. Give the photo on the left a click if you want proof that you don't need a thousand dollars worth of equipment and years of experience to land the big ones!
Walleye - The newest and most exciting fishery to our lake is the walleye fishery. Walleye are not native to Lake Clear but, were introduced a few years ago as part of a lake trout management strategy. During that time they have adapted well to our lake and have become one of our most popular species. Special conservation restrictions apply to our walleye population with a 20 inch minimum size limit and a two fish limit being strongly enforced. Walleye are our most actively biting fish with good catches from the third Saturday in May opening day through to the winter. Fishing is best in the early morning and late evening. Quarter ounce jigs with nightcrawlers or scent bait are the most productive lures; but, when they are hitting hot they will hit a hang nail. Because this species was intended to be a conservation fishery we suggest that Lake Clear walleye anglers be prepared to do a lot of catch and release fishing. They are easily caught and a lot of fun, but, most will have to be released because of our special restrictions. Hey, that's what most of us are into anyway.
Northern Pike - Godfather of the Lake Clear fish species, the northern pike is responsible for more stories about the big one that got away than nearly any other fish in our lake. These hard biting brutes are true bandits of the blue, ready to snap the line of the angler that gives them too much slack at the wrong time. Their season opens along with walleye on the third Saturday in May and continues on through the winter. Best fishing is found from opening day through the end of June, with action picking up again in late August and September. Minnows and minnow like artificials are the best bait. These three lads can attest to the fact that not all the big ones get away.
Lake Trout - If the pike is the godfather of Lake Clear fish than the lake trout is surely king. These tasty fish of the char family were once the top sport fish in the region. However, years of overfishing and habitat loss have removed them from their most favored position. This trend is now being reversed. With the introduction of walleye to aid in habitat redevelopment and the institution of special conservation regulations, this species is making a comeback. Most of the season these fish are found in sixty foot or more of water and extremely difficult to catch. They are a true test of an angler's skill and dedication. However, those in the know have been known to find them lurking in the shallows or near the surface in the early morning.
