caught this 7 almost 8 pound trout at silverwood the other day using a 10 inch swimbait when fishing for striper. never experienced trout going for big swimbaits but i guess this guy was really hungry! lol. after him i noticed another slightly smaller trout chasing my bait.

That's a nice one there.

It's no surprise that they'll go for a swimbait. This just brings up some old plans.

Isn't the first report since the brood stock dump that I've heard of a swimbait trout. One was caught while I was there at the backside quiet cove area. Funny thing is the trout seem more productive on swimbaits then the damn stripers!

i have no idea y no one is really killing the striper on swimbaits like last year around this time, but on stock day you still see the trout getting chased and floating on top like they were attacked. only seen about 3 decent size striper caught on stock day

I hope it's not because of me catching all the big duct spawning stripers. I joked with you about affecting the stripers at Silverwood from keeping all my catches unlike I used to just release, especially the big spawners. Now you got me thinking HAHA.

It was bound to happen. Several good years in a row had some of the locals talking about a downward turn this year. Also DVL having down years recently meant many more fisherman at Silverwood, is it possible that took a toll on the mid to large size fish? I got no idea actually, last year topwater in Oct and Nov produced most fish in the 3-8lbs range, this year I'm lucky if I get a 2 on a spook.

So I suggest everybody hits Castaic, Pyramid and DVL, no fish at the Wood!

Hey Guys,
The original "trout swim baits" were made to catch trout. the LMB and Stripe applications came later.

As you leave the launch ramp make an immediate left into the back of that large cove. On the right side there is a lot of grass from 7-15ft..It extends all the way to the buoy line in the back of the cove.

Yup aware of the open waters and closures, but I'll wait till spring, not that the water will warm much but at least the air temp. will be a little better. Oh and playing around the Res. in icy weather is a good recipe for another blown out knee!

Really.. Yeah I stopped at the Buoy line because the grass was better a little further back towards the point.. why is that area buoyed off anyway????

Pete your description had me scratching my head anyway. Not sure if you are talking about entering into the channel then first cove or whether you are talking about heading into Miller or Cleghorn and their first coves (by the outlet tower or Black Oak/swimbeach). If by the outlet tower cove then no trespass past that bouy line and yup they are getting on people hard this year that even toss over that line let alone those that like to "stray" past that bouy line. If you are talking about other bouy'd off areas in Cleghorn and deep in Miller then Bob is correct no motors past those areas. Other bouy's setup in coves down the main channel only indicate 5mph limits. But once again based on your description it's hard to tell, a left to me would indicate towards Cleghorn and the Black Oak area where the swimbeach is.

Way to go Alex. Was trolling hashtags on Instagram the other day and saw your catch. I know the pigs are hard to come by, but like Seal had said, top water bite was not nearly as good as last year and the big girls are nowhere to be found. Fished it Sunday from 1:30 am until 7 am and all I managed was one swipe at my swim bait and that's all. Maybe some more candy bar stockings will kick it up.

Seal... sorry I was in a hurry the day I posted that.... leave the launch ramp and go straight across to Las Animas Point..its the point across from Rocking Chair. Cruise that shore all the way to the back of Cleghorn. That whole right side has a ton of grass between 8-16 ft deep all the way back to the buoy line.

In years past some of my favorite stomping grounds. Well before they stopped planting trout down there was a great area to hunt big stripey. But always has been a decent LMB area, cats., crappie you name it. Lot's of LMB fry back there this year, as usual.

Big trout (i.e. Eastern Sierra brown trout) will definately eat smaller trout....sometimes detrimental to their own lives. Check out this glutonous hog of a brown, had one in its belly & went for seconds only to die in the process.....
