Lower Clear Lake

Lower Clear Lake is a lake in Langlade County and the water facts we have show about 79 acres and a maximum depth of 21 feet, and that gives you a simple feel for the lake before tackle choices even matter.

What this lake is like

I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten and I would build the day around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

What swims here

Species already recorded for Lower Clear Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.

A simple way to approach it

For an uncomplicated day on Lower Clear Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
