Clear Lake (fresh water lake)
Updated 2013-06-12 15:27:27

Frog bite is on. There also decent action from buzz baits and top water lures. Weeds are coming up so punching lures will work. Surface temps are in the mid-70s. Catfish bite is very good. Use cut mackerel or nightcrawlers. Mini-crawlers under a bobber will get bluegill or crappie. Clear Lake Outdoors (707) 262-5852
