• Where to Fish on Clawson Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Open biodiversity records for Oneida County list brown trout, walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike and bluegill. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Clawson Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 9°F in January and 66°F in July. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and late November closes it again. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Clawson Lake fishes to that pattern most years.
