Yeah its alot differnt here in Spokane from where I grew up.
Henderson NV, we had Lake Mead and the Colorado river.
I fished Silver sunday and posted a report. I did catch one
10" perch and I actully kept 5 perch to eat. Normally I wouldn't
keep them unless they were all 9" inch at least but I haven't had any
for a while. I did notice some growth in the perch from years past and
also the gills seem like they might be making a come back. The crappie
were same ole same ole 5" to 9" but seemed to have more fight in them
than usual.
Silver Lake, Spokane County.

RE:Silver Lake, Spokane County.
Hey Yellow Bear. I personally saw 2 8lb+ bass at Newman last year. Neither of them caught by me or anyone with me but both were kept by the person who caught them. The fish was dead before I could talk them out of it.
Silver lake does not have a problem producing nice fish. The problem is that most people don't know how to catch them. I can go out to Liberty and throw bass stuff in the water and catch fish, same said for a lot of lakes around. Silver is always a little trickier. They are tougher to catch but it doesn't mean they aren't there. They just aren't where most people fish. Sounds like a smart fish to me. People say there arent fat perch ang bluegill in there but I have found spots that Im pretty sure go unfished most of the year that have produced very healthy fish. Once again its a matter of finding the fish.
I agree with muskie guy, the lakes that have Tigers have major issues to begin with. They put the muskies into lakes that are already on a downward slide for one reason or another. Just because it continues on that downward slide does not mean it is the muskies fault. Water conditions suck at Newman which has become another lake that you have to know how to fish it to catch big fish in there. You can't tell me that water that color is a bonus for the fish. Both Newman and silver were considered for rotenone before the muskies were put in there. If you ask me which fish is a problem at Newman it is all the damn carp! Sprague had too many carp as well and look how it faired.
