Lake Clear Fish
The clean, fresh waters of Lake Clear are home to a variety of game fish sure to delight any angler. You don’t need to be a professional to enjoy the fishing. Pike, walleye, smallmouth and Largemouth bass and lake trout are all found in our waters. Also, pan fish such as rock bass, bluegill and yellow perch are easily caught from shore.

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 bass.

THE NEWEST AND MOST EXCITING FISH TO OUR LAKE IS THE WALLEYE. THEY ARE NOT NATIVE TO LAKE CLEAR BUT, WERE INTRODUCED A FEW YEARS AGO AS PART OF A LAKE TROUT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY.
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.

IF THE PIKE IS THE GODFATHER OF LAKE CLEAR FISH THAN THE LAKE TROUT IS SURELY KING.

Hydrographic Map
Lake Clear is app. 6 miles long and between 3/4 and 1 1/2 miles wide. (9.6 km X 1.2 to 2.4 km) The bottom structure is soft at the west end with shallow weed growth. From the first island on eastward, the bottom becomes mostly rocky with small, sandy pockets in some of the back bays. There are growths of aquatic grasses, such as wild rice and saw grass, near the outlets of creeks and towards Little Lake Clear. (Pike are most frequently found in these areas.) There are app. eighteen islands in the lake, depending on exactly what constitutes an island to you. (Generally, if it is large enough to support a few trees, I call it an island.) Many of these islands are crown land, but a few are privately owned. Most noteworthy of these is Turner’s Island, which is the largest on the lake.
