Silver Lake Fishing
For rainbow trout the bank fishermen can user powerbait with the top color being chartreuse glitter. Kastmasters and night crawlers work well for both bank and boat fishermen. For trolling, the typical trout setups work quite well. Using dodgers or flashers with a half of a mini crawler, spoon, or needlefish trailing about 18 inches behind will do the trick. If you are toplining you should have atleast a 75 foot setback, and a longer setback would be even better. For Brown Trout you should use an inflated night crawler if your bait fishing, and if your trolling you should use a Rapala, Rebel, Needlefish, or a Cisco Kid Lure. For Mackinaw Trout you will need to troll a large immitation minnow stickbait lure near the bottom in the lake's north end and in the narrows. The Cisco Kid Lures work very well when trolling with your weight bouncing off of the bottom. You can also jig straight down off the bottom with a Nordic Spoon or a Gibb's Minnow.
