Clear Lake this week…5/26/2015


Boy, what a change over the past week. Overall I’d rate the fishing at fair to very good. The thunderstorms Friday and Saturday certainly did not help, but nonetheless, the bite wasn’t affected too much. Lake level is 3.77 Rumsey and the flows have been slowed dramatically, all of the way down to 45 cfps.

Unfortunately the water quality did suffered some from the warmer temps and boat traffic, still it remains above average for this time of year as well.

Apparently the boat/ water ski traffic did a pretty good job of dicing up the weed beds up north and the floating remnants made bladed top waters challenging to say the least. This weekend the whopper plopper and frog took the top water honors, and the punch bite began to really take hold.

Mid-lake finds the ledge fishing beginning to pick up with jigs, and Carolina rigs accounting for the best results there.

South end you’ll find the senko and drop shop bite producing fish in the 4-5lb range on the breaks, and deeper docks.

Yes, there are still some bed fish to be had, but water clarity dictates when and where right now.

This weekend BBT is out of Red Bud Park on Saturday, and ABA has their event out of the Casino on Sunday.

Speaking of Red Bud Park; all of the new docks are finally in as is the new lighting. Five full launch lanes with a car topper lane to make six. With the final sealer being applied this week, and stripping to be completed by the weekend, along with the new landscaping which is also on its way, this in now IMHO the finest launch facility on the lake.

What a difference, and yes, as promised CLPD is actually cracking down on the local element as well, so perhaps there is some hope after all. One would certainly hope so after spending close to a million dollars on these improvements. Fingers crossed.
