Are some here of the belief that reports on ice thickness and conditions are "hand feeding" people? I also read "reports" where people say things like "get out there and check for yourself" regarding conditions. This to me is simply "locals" that don't want anyone from more than 20 minutes away fishing "their" lake. These types of comments are really getting under my skin (if they really represent the attitudes I have mentioned). The R & C board is intended to help out fellow fisherman and increase safety - something we should all be concerned with. And yes, constantly asking what the conditions are is annoying too. Just remember those of us who come from farther away often add some $$ to the local economy. More than that we are a part of what I see as a "fishing fraternity" where one of the qualifications for membership should be good sportsmanship.

I hope to be out on the Silver Lady Saturday or Sunday. I look forward to visiting and harvesting sensibly and selectively.

Tight Lines and Hard Water

Finally a worhty report for the BS thread,hopfully people will understand the hows the ice coments belong on here and not R & C board.

wow, dude! that's like the tenth time i've seen that comment from you. along with the usual "how's the ice?" b.s. on the R & C boards. Read the posts and they answered your questions!.. Silvers been pounded for years and she's been doing better than ever. There's a reason we got 50 limits on panfish.

Silver lake is looking real good south end looks to be pretty wrapped up.

buckskinner14530 · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 01, 2013, 05:05 PM »

middle of lake is open and there was some waves. 15 out right now hope it locks up tonight . there is about an 1" of snow on the ice. it is good hard ice clear when i checked last.

pikemaster0607 · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 01, 2013, 05:25 PM »

10 day forcast shows some days in upper 30s and mid 40s hopefully the lake will be locked up enough to withstand it

fishmaster13184 · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 01, 2013, 05:47 PM »

I always wondered if the "pounding" the pan fish take here are the reason there are so many quality fish? As long as i can remember silver has always had a healthy population of gills, in fact i can't think of a lake that is better

Windknots · « **Reply #43 on:** Jan 01, 2013, 09:08 PM »

Could be the reason. The northern pike likely pound the bluegills harder than the fisherman do on Silver. Silver has a good production of gills in the south basin, perfect place for them to breed. Chautauqua is similar, but doesn't have a pike population, just muskie. I think a healthy pike population is the reason that Silver produces better gills. Pike are routinely in the shallows hunting gills. Gills in Chautauqua are stunted, just too many of them.

Very good point. Definitely makes sense but i really want to fish mid-lake this yr and i think it will happen.We will never out fish this body of water theres just to much of it.

A friend noticed a posted sign on the pumphouse at the Country Club the other day. Seems that the new owners don't want people accessing the ice there.

Not necessarily. Who knows if somebody left a mess down there or caused some damage?

It's been for sale for a couple years, maybe longer.

Silver Lake's gills form colonies around the entire perimeter during the spawn. The sides often have some of the largest colonies. During the winter months those fish "seem" to move to the ends of the lake, however.

anyone hear anything on the condition of silver lake

Chaki17 · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 01:56 PM »

Seen two guys out on the north end about hundred yards out on buckets. Another guy walked out and was checking the thickness on standpipe. So real close.

warsawbassman · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 01:57 PM »

In the summer the jet skiers drive me nuts....as does George, but at least the jet skiers go away after awhile.

steelheadman · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 01:58 PM »

OK thanks i appreciate the info

wnybassman · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 04:48 PM »

Cool, let's try getting 3 or 4 Silver Lake threads going again this year

aleroman1 · « **Reply #55 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 05:14 PM »

I check the cams daily it is alll locked up, I need to see people. On the south end too lol

aleroman1 · « **Reply #56 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 05:19 PM »

Does anyone know if they charge to park at the state park, for ice fishing.

ghostface · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 05:20 PM »

Free of charge in winter.

aleroman1 · « **Reply #58 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 05:36 PM »

Ok thanks very much

Doubles Shooter · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 02, 2013, 05:45 PM »

You can't access the lake from there with a snowmobile or ATV however.
