State launch good?
There is supposed to be some eyes in silver. Has anyone ever targeted them or got em as bycatch?
Silver has some nice size walleyes as you can see from the ones caught in the spring and summer, but it is not noted to be an active walleye lake in the Winter and most fishermen don't fish for them. I have caught a few early in the morning and late in the afternoon over the years, but you have to be constantly on the move from hole to hole and know the lake bottom to catch that one or two fish for the day. Your better off targeting pan fish in this lake during the Winter. Pike were plentiful for many years but they have decreased in numbers.
I appreciate the reply. So it's about like Conesus lake. The walleye in there are huge
I have never fish Silver lake and would like too but I am not formillar with access points or any local bait shops around the lake. Any info would be great thanks thanks for he help.Tight lines everyone!
I'm new to this site, was wondering how many parents take their kids 12 and under. Looking for tips on keeping them interested.
Went to Silver Lake this morning. They got about a foot of snow. There are brownish looking areas in the snow all over the lake which are wet spots and slush. Where I test walked it seems like a full layer of slush. Stopped at the North end, Perry Town Park, Wyoming County access on the East Side - mid lake, Mack's and the state launch. All have slush over the existing ice. I have done the horrible slush walk and drag before but not today and went back home. PS the Wyoming County access must not be county land anymore, there are 3 real estate sold sign at the road.
I don't think it was ever county land, but private land with access noted by the Wyoming County Wildlife Federation. I saw those signs last week too. That access was not for the meek.
On Monday there was 8-9 inches of ice (6 clear) over deep water in north end.
My family has a cottage there we have fished many times and have never had much luck off traber or the south end looking for pike any suggestions please
just wondering. perch chacer, were you the gentleman that stopped and talked to me and my buddy on your way off the lake Sunday.
