• Where to Fish on Clarence Kopp Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Survey and observation records for Knox County include bluegill, spotted bass, freshwater drum, gilt darter and gizzard shad. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Work Clarence Kopp Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 77°F; by January the average is down near 29°F. In milder years the surface never sets. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That shapes the year on Clarence Kopp Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. Facilities run to toilets half a mile from the water. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Robeson Pond, 2.1 miles away. Signs at Clarence Kopp Lake carry more weight than any list.
