Description

Abstract: Clear Lake, the origin of the McKenzie River, is located about 80 miles east of Eugene in Linn County, Oregon. The 148 acre lake is within the Willamette National Forest at an elevation of 3,012 feet. Clear Lake is biologically unusual. Although the underwater trees are not petrified, decomposition has been very slow because of the _low level of biological activity in the water. Biological activity is confined mainly to benthic algae in the northern end of the lake and to planktonic diatoms (primarily "Asterionella" and "Fragilaria") in the southern portion. Cutthroat trout is apparently the only indigenous salmonid species in Clear Lake. A 1922 Forest Service report describes Fish Lake and Hackleman Creek as being the most important spawning and juvenile rearing habitat for Clear Lake trout.

Purpose: Provide an operational fish management plan for Clear Lake.
