Clear Lake at Glen, Mn.


UncleKes

Recommended Posts

I used to fish a small lake just north of Malmo on Milla Lacs at a town called Glen.  The Lake was called Clear Lake.  I have not fished it in quite some time and wondered if anyone has any information on it.  (Ice conditions, whats biting, etc.)

I moved to St. Cloud a few years ago but thought it might be nice to ice fish the lake this winter.  I used to catch some nice stringers of perch, crappies, and sunfish.  

Can anyone tell me if they are still selling bait at the Gas Station/RestaurantStore at Malmo?

Any info would be appreciated.

GOOD TO HEAR.  I THINK I MIGHT GO OUT NEXT SATURDAY.  I AM HUNGRY FOR A MESS OF PANFISH.  ANY SIZE TO THE PERCH?  ARE THEY STILL NAILING THEM ON THE NORTHEAST POINT OF THE ISLAND WHERE IT  POINTS  CLOSEST TO THE FARM ON THE NORTH SHORE.  I USED TO PICK UP QUITE A FEW WALLEYES THERE BECAUSE OF THE ROCK BAR THERE IN THE SUMMER.

ANOTHER GOOD LAKE FOR EYES IS DAM LAKE JUST NORTH ON 47 AND THEN EAST ON SOME COUNTY ROAD,  OR YOU CAN TRY SWAMP LAKE DUE EAST OF THE GLEN STORE IF YOU CAN GET INTO IT.  ASK ABOUT SWAMP AT THE GLEN STORE.

THE DNR USES IT AS A TEST LAKE FOR PIKE ( AT LEAST THEY USED TO AS OF ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO) AND DO THEY PULL SOME BIG ONES OUT OF THERE IN THE SUMMER.   IS HARD TO FIND AND MAY BE SNOWED IN SO YOU MAY HAVE TO USE SNOWMOBILES OR ATV'S TO GET INTO IT.

ASK ABOUT SWAMP AT THE GLEN STORE.

Please report back if you get out Saturday. Clear lake is a hidden gem for walleyes. Have also caught some monster pike from Swamp in the summer. Good luck.

Heading over to Clear tomorrow about 05:00 AM tomorrow  (1/14/18) and ought to be set up and fishing by 06:30.  I will let you know how it goes.   I am going to fish for panfish but will also set up a tip-up or a dead stick too.   I know of a hole about 500 meters off the West/Northwest shore. in about 30 feet of water that used to produce well for me.

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.        
    • smurfy

    • CigarGuy
