Fishing in Clearlake

Clear Lake in California stands as a premier destination for anglers, celebrated globally for its exceptional bass fishing. Recognized among the top ten bass lakes worldwide, it consistently yields trophy-sized largemouth bass, drawing enthusiasts from across the nation. The lake's warm, shallow waters—averaging 21 feet—create an ideal habitat for bass year-round, as it never freezes.

Beyond bass, Clear Lake offers remarkable diversity. Crappie fishing thrives here, with both black and white species abundant; spring peaks as prime season, though opportunities extend year-long. Catfish, particularly channel catfish, congregate in areas like Rattlesnake Island, while bluegill and carp provide accessible shore fishing. Rainbow trout also inhabit these waters, responsive to varied baits and lures during cooler months.

Whether targeting record bass or a quiet day of shoreline fishing, Clear Lake delivers. Its scenic coves, rocky points, and marshy inlets—like Anderson Marsh—offer serene backdrops for all anglers. Book a Clearlake fishing charter to experience these legendary waters, where world-class catches meet California’s natural beauty.

Steve put me on fish from the start and we continued to catch them all day. We had several over five pounds with most in 2 1/2 to 4 pounds range. He showed me techniques that I could use on my own to improve the number of fish I caught and the size.

I’ve been a bass fisherman my whole life and was with my girlfriend who had never fished before, both of us were able to consistently catch fish and get a few big ones along the way. Steve was an engaging guide and had tons of good information we could probe him for. Would definitely choose him again if we ever come back!

Talk about an awesome fishing experience!! Steve an expert at fishing and it shows. From the time we met him, got on the boat, we knew we were going to have a good time. Steve is exceptionally patient and an excellent instructor on how to use the type of fishing rod each of us was using. We ended up catching a few Bass and Steve wrangled a cat fish for us. Steve was extremely knowledgeable, kind, fun, incredibly patient and safe. We are definitely looking forward to our next fishing trip.
