Silver lake fishing

Great colors on those fish.  Good catch riddle

Thank you.

Good job Riddle. 

I Fished out in front of the blue silo on the West side in 29FOW.  Made 7 moves and found some perch that wanted to hit at the last two sets of holes.  Kept a few 7-1/2" to 9-1/2".  Mousees and white plastic worked better of all I tried.  Shore ice at the Southend State Launch was solid and main ice was 14" with a couple inches of snow on top.  The above freezing temps did not hurt the ice today due to the snow cover.

Good take PC.  I was just north of you in the Standpipe/Golf Club/north end triangle from first light to 3pm.  Lots of perch, some gills, and a cluster of crappie throughout the day. The key was to move, move, move to find eager fish. Typical Silver Lake sizes with some plus-sizes mixed in, all released back. Jigs with waxies was my recipe.

They are some nice perch. Perch are definitely getting bigger in Silver. It's good to see.

Any word on shore ice or water color, thinking about trying afterwork today. Thx

I hate this time of year. Alas, another ice fishing season will soon end. The left over spikes that I had I fed to the chickens today. Tomorrow, being that it is fourcasted to be around 67°. I will set up the hub and air it out. I will then pack the hub with mothballs, and hopefully defeat the rodents that want to take a bite out of it. I had a good year catching perch and gills, not so much for the pike. Have a pleasant summer. I hope too see you all on the ice next season. Riddlefiddle out.

Anyone know what happened to the web cam at Silver Lake Marine?  When I open the web address, that I have always used, I get Mark's Leisure Time Marine at Conesus Lake.

Thanks to Kendog he informed us about another cam on Silver Lake which is located on the East side at mid lake.

Are we going to be on ice at Silver this weekend?! Enough of this mild winter already. Anyone have a report?

[youngblood]

   I live on the south end. Open water all the way down to Macks on the East side. I haven't been towards the North end.

You would probably have better luck in hemlock

Mid lake area that is shown on the camera has a large section of very dark colored ice, no snow on top unlike the surrounding ice which has patchy snow. This was last to freeze it looks treacherous, I wouldn't venture out on that area.  If we get snow it will be covered.

Went out of Perry Public Beach today.  Ice had patchy snow on it and from 20 FOW - 35 FOW the ice was 8" thick measured with a tape.  Bite was slow for perch.  Kept a few 8- 9" for a dinner.  Warmer temps today did not hurt the ice much it only made the top 1" get soft and the shore ice is covered in snow to protect it.

Nice catch of Silver lake perch. Great day too be out.

[perch chacer]

There may still be another chance for Silver this year.  The lake is completely ice covered.

I've been watching the cams. The lake sits at 1375' I would not be shocked if loon is too at 1800'

I drove by Loon on Friday.  Ice covered with a lot of open water patches at that point.
