After two short afternoon trips to this lake, I gleaned enough info from the locals to pass on Hog Canyon and stay on a hometown lake. This morning's wet, sloppy weather had a hand in it, too! I arr...

This is actually a 2-day report on Silver. With this warm front and snow coming in, we decided that we had to be on the ice the 12th and 13th. The bite had been sporadic during the last freeze and w...
