Silverlake Enterprizes Lake, Missouri: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Silverlake Enterprizes Lake is one of the Cass County listings for Missouri. Around the bank it is farm and woodlot. At about 54 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. A shoreline of some 1.3 miles keeps the choices simple. Size puts it in the front rank of our Cass County list. Raymore lies 1.1 miles from the water. Overland Park sits 17 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Silverlake Enterprizes Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name green sunfish, bluegill, orangethroat darter, slender madtom and channel catfish. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Silverlake Enterprizes Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 27°F in January and 78°F in July. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan any trip to Silverlake Enterprizes Lake around it. Wind direction changes which bank is worth fishing.

• Tackle & Baits

  It is marked public, so anyone may fish it. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Welborn Development Incorporated Lake, 0.9 miles away. Treat access at Silverlake Enterprizes Lake as something to verify.
