Silver Lake

[mikeeacho]

Not looking for secret spots or techniques, just some friendly help.

I am hoping to fish Silver Lake in Madison NH because it is near a friend. Does anyone know if it is producing white perch at all? Or anything else for that matter.

I see it is listed by F&G for white perch, but so is Great East. I went to Great East last week with my daughter and we saw 3 fish on the flasher all day. We covered about 3 miles of ice and drilled about 60 holes. I just want to prevent another day like that. I can always make my friend drive elsewhere, but I would like to try something new as well.

I fished there on Sunday.  A nice lake with decent structure, but I only marked 2 decent fish all day, one of which I missed and the other I hooked briefly before it came off.  I caught a bunch of dink perch in one area, and marked some smelts around too.  I had my snowmobile, so I was able to cover water and fish different areas of the lake, but came up relatively empty.  Everybody I talked to hadn't caught anything, and the warden I talked to said it's been slow out there.  I didn't run into anybody fishing for white perch. 

It was a nice spot, good scenery around, but I would say that you are better off elsewhere for action.

If you have access to Ossipee just down the road then I can help you out.  The place is loaded with whites, many days of 20 plus fish this winter.

I agree I know of a spot on Ossipee that is loaded with whities. Not to far away and some browns which you may catch as well.

Grabbed a nice 22" male brownie there this past weekend (Ossipee)

I've fished Silver for years  have never caught or seen a White.

Someone else on a white perch quest this winter! I have had limited success so far. One white caught at Webster Lake in Franklin. Another place I have had success before for whites is Opeechee in Laconia. But access is tough and the ice can be funky, so fair warning.

I know Ossipee is loaded with them! I can keep the kids real busy when we find them during the summer.  Anywhere around the deeper water were the Bearcamp dumps in is a good bet. On the ice I would think the cove just to the left should be good. I'm ashamed to admit we have had a seasonal on the lake for 14yrs and not put any effort into fishing it for trout    i'll have to hook up with Joe one of these days

Thank you everyone. Ossippee here I come.
