    Fished Clear Lake Friday June 4th and found Walleyes along the north shore out from the Baptist Camp. Fish were in 4-5 feet of water along the reeds and caught trolling #5 Shad Raps. Fire Tiger and Red Craw seemed to be the dominate colors. Everything I caught (approx 20 in 2.5 hours) was between 13 and 17 inches.

    Fished Clear today 7am till 2pm. Pulled boards the whole time should have tried something else maybe. Put a 18 & 16 inch eye in the livewell for supper. Release 4 short eyes, 1 yellow and 1 white bass. Could have used alittle natural chop in the mourning. Had plenty of artifical chop in the late mourning early afternoon though

    All in all it was a beautiful day on the water 75 sunny degrees better then sitting at home.

    Good Luck all Todd.

    There is an excellent catfish bite going on at Clear right now. Buddy of mine fished this mourning boated 15 kept his 8 fish limit. Kept mostly 2-4 pounders and threw back the larger ones up to 9 lbs. He was drifting a swimming jig and crawler trying to catch eyes and couldn’t keep the cats off. He was drifting near fishermans reef. If you like cat might be worth the trip.

    Good luck Todd

    I wish I had had more time on Sunday morning. I think Clear Lake has improved a lot in the last few years.

    I definately have to agree. I used to fish there all the time when I was younger and we’d never get anything but bullheads. These last few times have been great for walleye and I hope to get a couple catfish tomorrow night when I go.
