Re: Water clarity at Clear Lake?

It would be a good idea to get out here later this week or weekend the water temps are rising quickly. I was fishing up north yesterday wasn't to muddy still very fishable and should be cleaning up more as the week goes by. The redbud arm is pretty clean if you rather fish less stained water.

Re: Place To Stay On Clearlake

If you want to stay closer to the northwest end of the lake would recommend Konocti Vista Casino and Clearlake Vista Resort. Both have docks on the water and are a short walk from boat to your hotel room. They will also both have restaurant on site.

They adjust the dam regularly. I would guess right now its fully open with the water going up one foot a day like last 24 hours. With how fast the water can come up it can get out of hand quickly.

The blinds in Franks are required to have flashing lights on them .
When there is hunters in them the lights will be gone .
If the lights are still up you can fish around them.
