No, but it is a decent size resevoir. The Black River runs into it, and I have fished both the river, and the lake. It is an old lake, with plenty of brush/structure, and bluffs.
If you go, it shouldn't take you long to find some good looking areas. We used to catch 12-14" crappie there pretty often, but that's been 10yrs ago.
With that ammount of brush though, I would suggest a long pole, 10-13' for dipping jigs. I never used a long pole on Clearwater, but looking back, it would have come in handy.
The more clearer water is at the mouth of the Black River, and then the water becomes more stained the further south you go. It is in Reynolds Co. just south of Iron Co.
Oh, it is a heck of a lot smaller than Lake of the Ozarks, Truman, and Tablerock, so if you want to hit the spawn, don't wait for notice from folks fishing the bigger lakes, the spawn will be on at Clear Water before the bigger lakes.
Good luck.
