Brighton's Silver Lake (9-7)

[TyeDyeTwins]

Silver Lake - My twin and I got to Silver Lake at 7pm. We decided bank tangling was the best option and left the toons at home. We headed to the south pier and started the process of elimination. We threw every color in the spinner department (blue fox's & rooster tails) and plenty of colors of the Jakes spin a lure until I found what worked.

It was a blue fox bullet in white with black dots/red bead spinner. Mine was a healthy 12 inch bow. We also threw out rainbow powerbait on bobbers with the 2nd pole's and nothing bit. So we tried salmon eggs and had around 5 bites between us but no hook-ups. We left by 8:40pm after the rooster tail glow and the dark spinners and the lighted bobber proved worthless out there. Lots of rising fish though.

Ya I threw most of my tackle box at them and nothing. Go figure...I have almost every Deep Runner Blue Fox Bullet color EXCEPT white, the one that actually worked today. Glad you pulled something out in the 2 hours that we were there...Had you not pulled out a fish I doubt we'd ever go back. I think my passion for trout has turned into a passion for bass, uh oh. Way better fight for their size, you can keep more, plus their a little bit more tasty too. If only there were some bass in that lake!

If you see them rising like that next time try a fly and bobber

Congrats on catching a decent trout from one of the most pounded pieces of water along the Wasatch front.

Hmm I will have to give it a try next time. Oh well for a "community pond" (as it pretty much is) I am glad we could pull anything out on the 1st time there. Sandy pond took 4 times of pure skunking until we found where and what the trout liked.

You guys always figure the places out though. Last time I went to silver lake I fished mainly the stream going into the lake, just on the border of private property. allot funnier than the lake is and bigger fish to boot. was using a small midge emerger, I don't know my fly's so not sure exactly what you call it, My dad gave me a bunch of fly's and a diamondback 5wt trying to convert me. didn't work but I actually have caught some fish on it and it is fun. relaxing and takes allot of patients.
When I went to the lake there was a guy on the center dock on the north shore that was doing well with a black wolly bugger he caught three while I was there casting a small spinner, switched to the fly's after that and caught a couple like whats in your picture.
