Silver lake can be a little tough to fish at first, but the lake has turned out some big fish for me, along with its other two small ponds that are a blast to fish. Especially the catch and release one. Always has big bass that you can catch almost daily. Been fishing at Black well first preserve for almost 7 years and there is a reason I keep coming back
