Hate to say this but Silver lake in Spokane county has not been managed as a trout lake in many years. As a kid some 35 years, ago Silver was the lake to catch your limit of 12 trout in just a few hours. Those days are gone thanks to Bucket biologists and lake residents who do not want the lake treated. I fish Silver year around and have found the lake to hold Primarily Blue gill, Large mouth Bass, Crappie, Perch, and Tiger Muskie. I have also caught a couple of what look to me to be red eye tinch or weird greenish looking carp. Silver May still have a few Big Browns and maybe a few rainbows but I can not help but think The Tiger Muskies have made short work of them by now. I fish this lake a lot and have not seen anyone with a trout in a long time. It has been an excellent fishery for Blue gill and Perch the last couple of years though. With that said, I think the Perch population has been hit hard by ice fisherman and the Muskies. I will not be surprised if the perch fishing is a bust this winter. I would love to see a few more game wardens on the ice out there this year I think they would be very busy dealing with violations.
