After the cold blast that hit Iowa last weekend, the ice has been growing quit nicely. Reports of 6-12 inches of ice in Northern Iowa sent my friend Jacy and I on a trip before the Christmas holiday to that area. Clear Lake was the destination, and the turnout was fantastic. Clear Lake, Iowa is not only a great little town to stay in, it offers quite the variety of fish to chase after. After doing some Internet searches and talking with friends we made a plan to hit several lakes in this area. The number of lakes within a 30 minute drive of Clear Lake is pretty amazing. It gives an angler ample opportunities to catch whatever species they desire. In the two days of fishing our
Vexilars were lit up quite often, we caught the following species; perch, yellow bass, crappies, bluegills, walleyes and bullheads. The Bullheads were quite a surprise, as each time we thought we had a nice perch on, but the smooth-skin slimer came through the hole instead. Beside the snow storm we fished through on Friday, leaving us soaking wet, it was a great few days in the Clear Lake area. If you haven't been to Clear Lake lately, plan a trip. Clear Lake Bait and Tackle is the place to stop for all your needs, live bait, shack rental, and guided trips for a variety of species. Kevan Paul will help make your stop to Clear Lake a great one if you don't know the area.
