Clear Lake - Page 2

huh. well I checked the maps and Mt hood looks like it's actually kind of near the Santiam junction off of 126. The other clear lake that I found looks like it's in Keizer, which to me, didn't seem like it was near Mt. Hood. Now apparently I've found that there are 3 clear lakes in Oregon. I just hope that the fishing is good at the one off of 126.

Mt. Hood is actually near-ish the gorge, you're probably thinking of Mt. Jefferson or perhaps Mt. Washington.

And as for the confusion about clear lake, I imagine every county in Oregon has at least one. Kind of like Elk Creek, Salmon River, or Lost Lake. :-)

Actually there are four Clear lakes in Oregon. Might be more. The headwaters of the McKensie river Clear lake is one, the one by Mt. Hood/Timothy lake is two, the one by Keizer is three and the one down by Reedsport is four.

i originally made this thread about the clear lake near timothy/trillium past govt. camp. i spent all last week up there and fishing was suprisingly slow. i usually troll ford fenders with wedding rings and nail em, but found myself catching only two or three keepers in a three hour trolling session. in the beginning of the week, the fish were really bitin off the bank with any powerbait u threw out. but the bite died down after a few days. i usually fish deep in the coves with powerbait, and flies. no bites on flies this time though. and no big ones this trip either. if u want to go to clear lake, i would all but guarantee catchin a lot of fish, but u will hav to fish hard. u can catch em off hte bank, but a boat, raft, or floattube would improve ur chances.

I'm tempted to take out my rubber raft but I'm really wary of taking it out anywhere with a lot of wind, how bad was Clear Lake?

Oh and anyone know if there are crayfish in there?

the wind can get pretty rough there, but i was out in my float tube and was handling the wind well. my friend was out in a inflatable raft with paddles and was doin fine also. we put three crawdad traps in for the week and only got eight, but i think with more traps and better placement(closer to shore) u would hav a better chance.... Good Luck
