View Full Version : Trout at the wood?

Since nothing in my area is being stocked beside pay to fish lakes. I've been thinking about making a drive up to Silverwood. A couple questions though if a local could please help me out so I can figure out if it's worth a drive. I fish from shore no boat, so are there plenty of shore spots to fish? Can I target trout or are they more of a bait fish in this lake? With drought and slow fishing nowadays is it worth an hour drive? Any comments or help would be appreciated. Thanks

Trout have spread out pretty good this year. The back of Miller and Black Oak canyon would be good areas. Look for coves and creek inlets for best results (although creeks are dry right now fish still stack up in those locations).

I believe the state just started stocking. I was there on Sunday. Saw a few trout cruzing around about halfway into the canyon trail. I went all the way to the back on friday and there was too much weed and algae. I was targeting bass but If I were to target the trout I'd stay near docks or the beginning part of Miller Canyon trail.

I fished from the docks twice in the last two weeks and did not see
anyone catch a trout. I tried for awhile but no bites. All I caught and
seen people catch from the docks were stripers.

Haha if that was on Sunday then yeah I was there along with 4 others. There was surprisingly a lot of people going for trout.

I think I walked right by KidTrout last Saturday morning near the boat ramp. I was lugging all the heavy swimbaits around :Big Grin: That was my first trip to Silverwood as I have just moved to Oak Hills..... skunked. Maybe I need a local guy like KidTrout or Seal to show me the ropes :Big Grin:

Here's the ropes on the swimbait bite, find a spot on shore cast and repeat when you are sick of casting, cast some more. Glad I could help!

Oh and by the way Kid trout and others caused quite the little stir due to where they were fishing. Try and behave yourselves at the lake children.

Yup funny response since after about 1.5 million casts in 2 days I'm in need of a good rub down or heating pad. Getting old sucks!

Getting old does suck, but staying young is impossible. I have had two ACL reconstructions, broke both collar bones, and am starting experience arthritis. Sometimes I have trouble chasing my 3 year old around the house.

I was up there on the 17th and it had been stocked. People were trying to fish them out of the ramp.

Fish the cove to the left of the swim beach or cleghorn with minijigs, plastic worms, or small lures and you'll catch them.
