Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Algoma: walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter and yellow perch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Clear Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 19°C and January near -10°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near early December in autumn. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Clear Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
