Fishing near Dover, Delaware

Find Dover in Delaware, inside Kent County. Everything worth a rod sits outside the town line. Short trips first: Silver Lake the better part of 1.3 miles to the north, Moores Lake the better part of 2.1 miles, Wyoming Lake the better part of 3.1 miles to the south-west, Red House Branch the better part of 5.3 miles with McGinnis Pond the better part of 8.5 miles to the south. Log jams on Red House Branch are worth more than any open run. Engineering, not nature, shaped most of these. Stony ground fishes better than mud in the cold. Cold never closes these. The cooler months are the comfortable ones. At 162 acres, Silver Lake is the closest water to town. Boats go in at Silver Lake, going by the mapping. County records name white perch, American eel and common carp among the fish present. Anyone based in Dover can reach every one of these in a morning....
