• Where to Fish on Silent Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Jefferson County: Coho salmon, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and Chum salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Fish Silent Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 62°F, the coldest about 40°F. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Silent Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Cattail Lake at 3.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Silent Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
