Silver Lake

Silver Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Portage County and its basic numbers come out to about 6 acres and a maximum depth of 20 feet, and those numbers are a useful reality check before you start making a fishing plan.

The lake itself

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.

Fish to think about

There is not a strong enough fish record for Silver Lake to build a species-specific plan; for now, i would fish what the water shows me and verify species before making a species-specific trip, and and let current conditions sort out the details.

Where I would put my time

For the opening trip to Silver Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
