Fresh Fishing Reports from Clear Lake

40 plus in 1/2 day trips

September 15, 2025

Fishing has been very good lately. Just finished up three days of guiding all half-day trips and managed to catch over 130 bass, 7 catfish, and over a dozen crappie. Fish seem to be very spot oriented, and are in large schools. Fish are around the bait balls and are also spitting up crawdads! Select you baits to match the conditions.

Big fish!

Clearlake doesn’t disappoint. You can see why it got ranked the #1 lake in the nation for bass fishing. Gabbi here was fishing a worm in 5 feet of water when this 11lber bit.

Deep and shallow working.

We have been catching alot of fish cranking 10 to 20 feet of water. Also, the flip bite is heating up flipping tules and weeds. Frog bite should stsrt soon as we get warmer weather.

Finesse is the way to go!

Light line and finesse presentations are dominating right now. Lake is seeing lots of pressure from anglers. Catching some big fish! Better to get the bites and take our chances with light line then not getting many bites at all. Drop shot, senkos and shaking a small minnow on a jig head seems to be the deal.

Lake Berreyessa is hot!

Averaging 50 to 100 fish days! Catching big largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass each trip. Fish are up shallow and chewing! The lake is a hidden gem aboutcan hour and 20 away from Clearlake.

Spring is in the air!

The last two days have been phenomenal fishing! Mike here ended up with two bass over 8 lbs, two over 7, a 6, and multiple 3 and 4 lbers over the last couple days. There are definitely bite windows. Water temps are around 51 degrees. 3 days of warm weather and the lake is going to explode!

What anglers said about fishing in Clear Lake

Well, we had 30+ mph winds and the high was only 70 degrees, but that was an anomaly. Original forecast was for 10-15 mph winds and a high in the low 90's, which (for me) is amazing fishing weather. Cover up, slather on some sunscreen, stay hydrated and have a blast out there!

5.0 / 5

Just a reminder that although clearlake is a phenomenal lake to fish where you. An catch size and numbers, you can run into tough days. Be patient and ready to grind it out if it is.
