Clear Lake: The top rated bass fishing lake in the United States is been a somewhat of a disappointment for many anglers lately. Even-though we having a slight change in weather, it was not enough to get the bass started into a fall feeding mode. Trout anglers that are fishing from the shore along Hwy. Bass anglers that have made their way up to the lake have been hooking into 20 plus bass per outing!!! The area along the dam is holding a lot of large bass right now.
