History & Status of the Fishery
Clear Lake, as its name implies, is a clear water lake located in south central Aitkin County. The lake has a long history of stocking, dating back to 1912. The two most common species stocked have been walleye and northern pike. Since 1980 walleye have been the only species stocked. Analysis of walleye stocking effects indicate that natural reproduction does not appreciably contribute to the population. Past stocking success has also been variable as measured by netting indices. Northern pike are relatively abundant in Clear Lake and have a wide range of sizes available to the angler, including good numbers of fish greater than 25 inches in length. Angler harvest of quality size pike is not excessive, to the point that larger pike are rare. A greater presence of large pike would be desirable to provide additional predation on the over-abundant small pike. Bluegill are small and are found in great abundance in Clear Lake. This is probably the result of several factors including the abundant spawning habitat available, the heavy bed of submerged vegetation that shelter the young bluegill from predators and a fish community structure incapable of providing adequate predation to allow better growth and a larger average size.
