These photos were taken before I became a member here on FN.

I took my youngest out fishing; who was 4 yrs old at the time, and we went up to Silverwood. The pictures were taken back in November of 06; so it hasn't been a year yet.

My son was using a Mosquito hook with a little PB molded onto it. We had a split shot about 15" down from the bait. He had 4 lb test and set the hook all by himself. Needless to say; he was very proud of his catch.

We Got Bendo!

Frank you are right about the dock and trust me when I say this year there will be alot of people piss when I start running a trap right around the docks from my boat and messing up peoples setups.

I don't care if you fish from the shore But stay off the docks and the ramp

Oh by the way Nice fish

Nice trout guys!
Looks like the little one had a tough time between thinking of taking a piss and reeling in a fish.

It's ironic how this old thread has had some life breathed back into it! :lol: The fact that you mentioned that the lake is way down in these pictures compared to now actually has a little story behind it.

Last weekend when I was up there I had a chance to speak with a fellow from the Department of Fish and Game about the water level in Silverwood. He told me that the lake has been brought up to the level of full capacity due to the fact that the water supply from the California Aqueduct may soon be cut by nearly 40% due to the Smelt and their spawning cycle. They happen to be on the endangered species list and would severley be reduced in their numbers if they were to be pumped through the high powered pumps along the aqueduct.

Silverwood needs to have an excess of water to weather the dry period of low water flows into the lake. This is the reason that the lakes water level is the highest its been in years. To read more about this topic you can view:

Ok , I might get alot of flack for this but screw the Smelt. People need water to drink in SoCA. We are in a drought and people should come first before the smelt . Everyone needs to do there part on conserving on water.
