    water was dirty from last nights rain. took 2 hours to get first bite. found them hanging out in 15ft. along rock bluffs. . Caught six total. All about the same ...more size. could only get them to bite the ned rig. Fished painfully slow. These were the first three of the day.

      Great info! I don't have a boat so I just wait til they start hanging out by the banks. Thanks!

      the bigger fish were all on steeper banks. in post spawn right now. tails and bellies were beat up from spawning, but none of the females were on beds. some of the ...more smaller males were still on the beds.

  • Clinton Lake

    Stocking of Walleye and Largemouth Bass sustains this quality fishery. Abundant Crappie and white bass provide plenty of action. Great public use facilities.
