Fishing




The bass fishing is so good that the professional bass fishing organizations have designated Clear Lake as the top rated bass lake in the nation. The lake record for largemouth bass to date is 17.52 pounds . Clear Lake hosts numerous fishing tournaments throughout the year.

Other game fish include catfish, Sacramento perch, crappie, bluegill, and carp.
