7am-5pm. And you must wait on the shoulder of 138 for the gates to open and not directly behind the gate or else they'll ticket you. Also, make sure your kayak is dry. Sit-on-top is questionable on that lake--someone please confirm.

Sit on tops are 100% ok at the wood. This is my home lake, I fish it at least 3 times a month on my yak. Water temps have been low so not much striper lately. It can kick off at any time. I'll post more on rigging once I get home from work.

Do you get your yak inspected at the gate then travel to your launching point?

Yeah I was going to be there regardless. Heads up unless you do quite a hike with your yak all entry points are closed other than the main entrance. It's worth it to just pay the $10 and back up to the water.

For stripers I bring my calico bass set up, spooled with 30lb spectra and fling the hell out of some swimbaits, waxwings, any big lure you have basically. For trolling I will put on a rat-l-trap or rapala.

For a bait rod, I fish 12-17lb line and let it drift while I work a lure.

Silverwood held the state record on Striped bass for quite a few years and there are still some bigguns in the lake. Last spring I saw a guy pull up a 26lber. The bite has been real slow lately but can blow open at any time. Hopefully that will be on Sunday.

I'm going to be there on Sunday, there is a kayak launch but it is best to use the boat launch so you have a straight paddle to the dam. Just drive straight in and park by the marina retail store and you can unload and wheel your yak to the ramp.

Yakin, What do you mean by "inspected"? Who inspects the yaks out there? Is there something that the yaks should be outfitted with specifically for this lake/ are there rules along those lines for yaks? I tried looking that info up but I couldnt find anything.

I should be getting my new Stealth 12 from OEX at the end of next week and plan on striper fishing this lake the following week during the week (weekdays).

They just want to see that its dry, make sure there is no moisture on the inside. Other than that, never had a problem at silverwood great lake to fish. Wind does come up around 11 most days!

The just check to see if everything you bring on your yak like your PDF seat and even the hull of your yak is dry and has no intruders on the outside or inside from a contaminated lake is all
if you go try not to bring a trailer because then you will have to sit in the boat like for inspection
uf you have it ontop of a car or in the bed of a truck or on a lader rack you can just drive into the car line it is a lot quicker just make sure to get there kind of early the line can sometimes be long and I herd spring break starts this weekend also

Some additional info on Silverwood:

- They inspect for mussels being transferred between waterways.

- The lake is closed Wednesday and Thursdays until April 30th.

- The lake often gets windy anytime after 10:00, mostly blowing from the boat launch towards the dam. Whitecaps are not uncommon in the afternoons. Conditions and A-hole boaters can make for a rough paddle back from the dam, the main channel is a wide-open speed limit.

- Jetskiers there have no brains.
