Info on Clear Lake (Lake County)? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Baja_Traveler · 06-11-2013, 02:56 PM

I was going to hit Clear Lake on the way up here to Shasta, but there was a big bass tournament there last weekend, and I didn't want to be in the middle of it. August you say - I hope you are good with heat, I fished the delta on Saturday and it was 104*, then it started blowing hard and turned the area into a blast furnace. I bailed and headed to Shasta a day early, and as I made my way past Clear Lake it was 109*! I can't imagine what it would be like in August...

I've yaked clear lake several times . The state park campgrounds are nice and fishing is good in that area. Well worth the trip. Plan on heat. Have fun catching big lmb.

Thanks Y'all for your postings. I actually forgot about this posting...

I did more research on Clear Lake and yes, August isn't a good time to visit due to the heat and stinky algae. But it looks like a nice fishery and seems like a nice yakking lake in cooler weather. Not sure if it's worth the hassle of strapping the outfitter for the road trip, don't feel like sitting in a kayak when it's 120 out.

I also scoped out NCKA.org, nice suggestion jbaker.
