• Where to Fish on Clark Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Marinette County include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Anyone new to Clark Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 11°F to 66°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. The season on Clark Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Goodman Millpond is 0.4 miles off. The position on Clark Lake is worth confirming on the day.
