About Clendening Lake
Anglers know Clendening Lake as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of Ohio, United States. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Clendening Lake is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Channel catfish
Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
- For Saugeye
Target saugeye during dawn and dusk, focusing on areas near drop-offs or current breaks where they ambush prey.
