• Where to Fish on Silver Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Reported across Kewaunee County: brown trout, rainbow trout and Coho salmon. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Silver Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 68°F; by January the average is down near 19°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. On average, early April opens the water and mid December closes it again. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Time your trip to Silver Lake by conditions rather than dates.
