- Silverwood Lake Update
The last trout stock was in late March, but they are still biting, and the pattern remains similar to our last report. Bright-colored jigs or microgrubs bounced along any rock or hard bottom are still getting their share of fish. Otherwise, it's all about soaking bait... Powerbait and floating nightcrawlers. Water temps are still in the high 60s...
The last trout stock was in late March, but they are still biting, and the pattern remains similar to our last report. Bright-colored jigs or microgrubs bounced along any rock or hard bottom are still getting their share of fish. Otherwise, it's all about soaking bait... Powerbait and floating nightcrawlers. Water temps are still in the high 60s low 70s... but once they hit mid 70s, look for trout bite to turn off completely.
The bass action has been good, but mostly for fish in the 1–2 pound range. The spawn is mostly over, although there are a few fish still in the shallows protecting their fry. These fish will crush a weightless Senko. Otherwise, dropshotting has been the best... just make sure your soft plastic is riding high enough to stay above the grass line.
The striper action has been quite good as well. A giant 14-pounder was reportedly caught in Cleghorn Canyon last week. Guys are landing fish either soaking sardines or trolling big jerkbaits.
