Clear is one of my 'go to' lakes in the Northwoods if you can't catch fish on Clear, you can't catch fish. Great bass lake both LMB & SMB. Fish size: mostly 'eaters' occasionally you will get a 4-5 LB LMB or a 3-4 lb SMB. Panfish good if you can find the weeds. Don't even waste your time fishing in the bay near the State Campground. When you fish Clear don't forget to respect wildlife and feed the eagles.

Tons of smallmouth size is a little small but you can find a real big one if you fish long enough. Largemouths average and abundent in shallow water bays. Huge walleyes and crystal clear water.
