    Default Clearwater Thursday


    Took a solo trip to Clearwater today. Lake is high. Took me a couple of hours and a gazillion dinks to find some good fish. I wound up rescuing fifteen from the insane madhouse the lake will become this weekend. Found the best fish cruising the outside of the flooded buck brush and willows. Didn’t keep any under 11 inches. The best was 14 1/2. Best colors were red/char, purple sparkle/char and pumpkin seed/char. It was cloudy all morning. The sun broke out in the afternoon and the bite shut off.Name: IMG_1454.jpg Views: 354 Size: 104.8 KB

    Looks like some nice ones. Years back when I was there the water was up in the beach parking lot.

    Yep, I launched from Piedmont Park. The water was over the handicap spaces

    Nice work, Speck. Assuming the name of the lake is an accurate reflection of the water clarity? Generally speaking, sunshine works wonders on muddy water crappie so guessing the sun put them down in your clear water? That's what happens up here in Wisconsin.....these crystal clear lakes still freak me out!

    Great job. Clearwater has happy memories. My Father took me there a couple times when I was in grade school. We caught some in spite of not knowing much. Wound up trolling Thin Fins, haven’t heard of those in a very long time. Thanks for the reminder Chris.

    Water was slightly stained. Mostly clear though for as high as it was
