“California’s largest natural lake landed in the Top 4 nationally the past three years, and was ranked No. 1 in the western region the past three years running. Consistency of production is paramount to be named king of this legacy lake list, and Clear Lake has that in spades. Anglers can expect to consistently catch big fish here. Double-digit bass hardly turn heads. A bass over 16 pounds was landed here last year. Five-fish limits of over 30 pounds are commonplace. An average Clear Lake bass is over 5 pounds, and there are a lot of them swimming in the pristine waters of this Golden State Treasure””
