Weekly fishing report
for Clear Lake The grade in Ventura is a popular fishing spot for area fisherman. Fishing near the grade on warm evenings should get some Channel Catfish
according to the Clear Lake Fishing Report for this week. -Reporter photo by Chris Barragy
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a weekly
fishing report in an effort to provide the latest information. The
weekly fishing report is compiled from information gathered from
local bait shops, angler creel surveys, and county and state parks
staff.
For lake locations, maps and other information, go to www.
iowadnr.gov/Fishing/FishingReports.aspx.
The fishing report for Clear Lake is:
Ice out on Clear Lake was on March 16.
•Walleye - No Report: Anglers will start wading the east shore-
line as the ice melts. Walleye activity will pick up in the coming
weeks. Use jig and minnow combinations, fished very slow.
•Channel Catfish - No Report: Catfish activity picks up dur-
ing late winter. Fishing near the Ventura Grade on warm evenings
should get some bites.
•Bluegill - Fair: A few bluegills have been caught in the canals.
Use small ice jigs under a bobber or add a split shot or two and
vertical jig near structure.
•Crappie - Good: Crappies have been caught in the canals. Use
small ice jigs under a bobber or add a split shot or two and verti-
cal jig near structure. Also check out the edges or inside the rushes
around the lake as crappies will likely be found near them as well.
•Muskellunge - No Report: Anglers looking to catch an early
season musky should target shallow flats along the shoreline on the
east end of the lake. Use a jig and a minnow or a slow moving arti-
ficial.

several hitting categories. His .346 batting average, .519 slugging

walk-off winner.
