Clearview Lake in Harrison County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Clearview Lake lies in Harrison County, Texas. It sits at 282 feet above sea level. At 10 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Waskom sits 1.5 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Beyond it, Greenwood at 7.1 miles and Blanchard at 13 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Clearview Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, redear sunfish, warmouth and longear sunfish. Records show what people reported, so treat the list as a guide to what lives in the area. The near bank of Clearview Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 82°F in July and bottom out at 44°F in January. The surface stays open the year round. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. The season on Clearview Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is State Line Lake, 3.9 miles out. Check the current arrangement for Clearview Lake.
