Silverwood’s striper bite is rolling, especially for night owls working the shore. Jerkbaits and swimbaits, and even cut bait are putting a serious dent in the lineside population, with most fish in the 3–4 pound range. Topwater’s also drawing some violent hits after dark.

Silverwood’s striper bite is rolling, especially for night owls working the shore. Jerkbaits and swimbaits, and even cut bait are putting a serious dent in the lineside population, with most fish in the 3–4 pound range. Topwater’s also drawing some violent hits after dark. Boaters are finding similar action during the day, though the fish seem a bit smaller on average. Best surface boils are happening near the dam.
Largemouth bass aren’t far behind. Dropshots and Senkos are getting bit, but if you’re hunting for size, stick with jerkbaits... they’re pulling in the better-quality fish. On top of that, the crappie bite is showing some life with solid numbers reported for some.
If you’re after trout, a few stocked rainbows are still showing around Cleghorn on Micetails and PowerBait, but it’s definitely a striper-dominated scene right now.
Silverwood has been serving up some decent trout action over the last month. The most recent stock was in early February, so the bite is slowing down a bit, but fish are still there. Campground Cove and Cleghorn Beach have been the most productive spots with spinners, trout magnets, and mini jigs in chartreuse or green. Water temps are hovering...
Silverwood has been serving up some decent trout action over the last month. The most recent stock was in early February, so the bite is slowing down a bit, but fish are still there. Campground Cove and Cleghorn Beach have been the most productive spots with spinners, trout magnets, and mini jigs in chartreuse or green.
Water temps are hovering around 56°F and climbing, bringing a slight uptick in largemouth action, mainly on slowly worked finesse plastics like ned rigs and drop shots. Striper reports have gone quiet. Crappie schools are showing up on sonar, but getting them to commit has been tough.
Lake Silverwood got a boost a couple of weeks ago with a 5,000-pound trout plant, and the bite is picking up. Mini jigs in dark colors like Black Galaxy, or Peanut Butter and Jelly are working best. Stick with 1/16 oz jigs, keep them near the bottom, and retrieve super slow. The trout are hanging around shallow areas near drop-offs, but they’re in...
Lake Silverwood got a boost a couple of weeks ago with a 5,000-pound trout plant, and the bite is picking up. Mini jigs in dark colors like Black Galaxy, or Peanut Butter and Jelly are working best. Stick with 1/16 oz jigs, keep them near the bottom, and retrieve super slow. The trout are hanging around shallow areas near drop-offs, but they’re in tight lanes, so accurate casting is a must.
Use an ultralight setup with 4 lb fluorocarbon leader for the clear water. If the bite is slow, don’t stay put—switch spots until you find the active fish.
The striper action is slowing down, but crappie are biting. Folks are getting limits dropping jigs on structure 30-35 feet deep.
