I fished the base of the dam about 20 years ago when we were working on the massive piping running from the pump station at the base to the top. There were a ton of bass in there then, but I'm almost positive you won't be getting in there without knowing someone or risking a ticket or jail. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Short answer is that it's closed to fishing for a number of reasons. Believe it is well signed and gated now due to knuckleheads over the years. Odds are you won't get caught but you know now.

I think he is talking about the over flow on the other side of silverwood the flores side. Yes lots of fish there but not allowed to fish there. Have you been fishing silverwood since moving there.
just looked it up on the map. it is called cedar springs spillway. it is at the base of silverwoods dam. it looks like a marsh. its under a bridge that has a walkway. and I plan on going tomorrow morning. the feeding truck has not arrived.
I just called at 8:45 this morning

always wondered about that area, and the farmland ponds/marshes to the north. Intrigued!

Cedar springs spillway goes dry and the other side of the road is private property. I wouldn’t try it. Trust me I know.

Don't waste your time.The water level isn't consistent enough to host anything but frogs.

Right up against the spill way there there is some nice fish. I do not fish it but have a friend that does. But TTT never replies to anything?
