Scratch Silver Lake

Headed out of the house at a little after 7:00. Got to Silver Lake at 8:15 and found a nice flat rock to put the red Coleman camping chair on. Two rods out with rainbow Power Bait and settled in for the duration.

Parking spot

All that, was under water not too long ago
Keeping in mind the fish hatchery thing and that there aren't going to be anymore plants this year, here is how the day went.

Rainbow Power Bait, plain, with garlic, with sweet corn, with anise.
Pink Power Bait, plain and with garlic.
Red and white Power Eggs.
Kastmasters in various colors.
I even sunk to putting Pautzke's Balls of Fire salmon eggs under a bobber.

And the answer...............

A little take on Edwin Starr's song:

Silver Lake, huh, yeah, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. 

Scratch Bear River Reservoir.
Scratch Silver Lake.

Looks like more miles to catch any fish.

  1. Oh Noes! Did the lake get fished out?

    1. I would say that the stocked fish that didn't get caught have dispersed far and wide. It's a huge lake and I'm sure there are still fish in it, you'll just have to find them. Probably take a boat, which I don't have.

  2. I started out toward Silver, too, this morning. Ascending half the way on Hwy 88 something wise inside told me not to go. I made an U-turn and ended up at Jackson Rancheria Casino. I walked out richer an hour later. Wanna join me?

    1. Silver Lake or the casino? No more fishing until our trip next week and I don't gamble.

  3. Keep scratchin', buddy, I am counting on you to have a good Fall fishing season. How is the fire doing? Hope it didn't change directions.

    1. The fire kept going North and East not in our direction. Since we don't hear about it on the news anymore, I'm assuming it's out or nearly out.

    Do you ever need an umbrella with that chair, or you out of there when the sun sets in? Heard a report on the news yesterday about skin cancer on the rise--long sleeves, long pants and hat for me now

    1. Hi Bill. T-shirt, long pants, bucket hat, and sunscreen on all exposed areas. After the ear, don't want any more.
