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. The newest and most exciting fishery to our lake is the walleye fishery. 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.
