What aquatic invasive species are found in Clear Lake?

Join us in the fight to prevent the spread of invasive species These sneaky creatures can hitch a ride on boats, clinging onto propellers, anchor lines, and trailers. They can even survive in hidden places like bilge water and ballast tanks, or disguise themselves in dirt and sand that sticks to nets, buckets, anchors, and waders. But don't worry, we have the power to stop them in their tracks with just a few simple steps. So let's do our part and protect our waters from these unwanted invaders.



History & Status of the Fishery

A fall nighttime electrofishing survey was conducted on Clear Lake on September 15th, 2023, to evaluate young of the year (YOY) and yearling Walleye abundance. No YOY were sampled. No YOY have been sampled in the nine total fall nighttime surveys. Walleye fry were stocked in 2023. No yearlings were sampled either. Only in 2021 have yearling Walleye been sampled (3.0 fish/hr). Electrofishing surveys do not seem to be effective at indexing YOY or yearling Walleye year class strength at Clear Lake; gill nets may be the best way to representatively sample walleye year classes when fish are large enough to be caught.
