Description
of the Area
Clear Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a remote yet beautiful reservoir
located east of Tule Lake. Except for waterfowl hunting and a limited antelope hunt, the
refuge is closed to all public entry. The western shoreline of the refuge is open to
hunting. This area is not heavily hunted primarily due to the limited and difficult access.No
boats are allowed. It is difficult to hunt here and the best advice is to hunt the refuge
with someone who has hunted here before.
Directions
to the Area
From Highway 139 go northeast on Forest Service Road 136 which passes
by the southern boundary of the refuge. Or, head to the northern
end of the refuge by accessing Kowoloski Road south of Malin, Oregon.
Note: These
roads are frequently in poor condition, especially after rain or snow. Four-wheel drive
vehicles are highly recommended, as are cell phones.

Waterfowl
The primary species hunted here is
Canada goose. Hunting is fair. It is very difficult to jump shoot birds here due to the
lack of cover and open nature of the area. Scouting is essential in this large, open area.
Hunters should bring materials to build a temporary blind. |
