Fish species in Clear Lake

Clear Lake belongs to Sawyer County and is listed as a lake and the water facts we have show about 77 acres and a maximum depth of 32 feet, so the size of the job is pretty easy to understand before you go.

I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and I would build the day around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.

The fish list

The fish currently listed for Clear Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.

What I would try before anything fancy

If this were my day on Clear Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
