This 1,702-acre lake is mostly long, narrow, and winding and most of its 35.5 miles of shoreline is deeply wooded. There is a 10-horsepower outboard motor limit on this lake.

Fishing Description:

Clendening Lake is noted for its fine populations of largemouth bass, crappies, flathead and channel catfish, saugeye, and white bass. There are also fair populations of perch, brown and black bullheads, and sunfish. Saugeye are stocked annually by the Division of Wildlife of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Fishing Tips, Tactics, How-To info:

Spring bass fishing is very popular with anglers. April, May, and June produce many bass of five pounds and up each year. Casting the shoreline with artificial lures by wading or by boat in the cover areas of the eastern portions of the lake is the most successful method. Fishing the brushy and stump areas with minnows and jigs is the best way for crappies in the spring.

Summer provides excellent flathead and channel catfish action for anglers. Flathead catfish from 20 to 60 pounds and channel catfish to 15 pounds are common catches at night during the summer months. Set lines baited with cut bait are the best method of harvest.

For bluegill, fishing with a cane pole and worms or maggots is the best all-around method in the summer.

Saugeye can be captured on small jigs (1/8 oz.), which are tipped with one-half of a night crawler. In the fall, saugeye can be captured by vertically jigging lures such as small Sonars or Vibe-E's. White bass can be captured on small white jigs (1/8 oz. or smaller).
