Clear Creek Lake, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Oklahoma holds Clear Creek Lake, in Stephens County. The bank is 1,161 feet above sea level. This is sizeable water at about 678 acres, and a boat opens up most of it. There is roughly 5.9 miles of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. It is one of the larger waters we list anywhere in Oklahoma. The closest town, Bray, is 3.2 miles away. The nearest city of size is Norman, 49 miles away. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Clear Creek Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged across Stephens County include largemouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish and channel catfish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Clear Creek Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 82°F, the coldest about 38°F. No part of the year shuts this water. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. That is the shape of the year on Clear Creek Lake. After a storm, the water clears from the edges inwards.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lake Humphreys at 2.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Rules at Clear Creek Lake are worth checking on the day.
