Got out on Clear Lake around 0530 am to float around and survey the bottom with my depth finder. Took my rod with me, but wasn't focused on fishing, but any fish caught would be a bonus. Floated around for a couple hours looking at how the lake was laid out. Wind was blowing from the west, southwest around five to ten mph. Water temperature was 62F.

Decided to anchor along the north side of the lake in about forty-five feet of water. Marked several fish anywhere from twenty-five to forty feet. Several cruised by at around thirty-five feet every half hour or so. Fished a nymph vertically but had no takers. Every time I fished vertically...they'd start rolling on top. Change to floating rig and a dry fly...they'd head back to the bottom. Tried fishing the nymph under an indicator at different depths....still no lovin'.

Decided to tie on a brown woolly bugger on a full sinking line and troll around towards the west end and towards the launch until I had to leave. Made a a few passes along the shoreline out about fifty to seventy-five meters from the north shore around the launch to the west end and towards the southwest corner in anywhere from three to twenty-five feet of water.

Fished for about four hours caught and released eight rainbows anywhere from twelve to fourteen inches, one ten inch kokanee, and lost four something or other as they spit my hook. Not a bad morning, left around noon.
