History & Status of the Fishery

A Targeted Survey was completed on Silver Lake on July 22, 2019 to assess the near-shore fish community. The data from this survey will be analyzed in conjunction with the Standard Survey that was also completed in 2019, to evaluate the biological condition of Silver Lake and contribute to the assessment of the watershed.

Ten sites within Silver Lake were sampled during this survey using a backpack electrofishing unit and seines. Only four species were sampled during this survey, including Banded Killifish, Bluegill, Brook Stickleback, and Largemouth Bass.

The results of this survey suggest that the fish population within Silver Lake meets expectations for lakes of similar characteristics, and Silver Lake is not biologically impaired.
