Had another great day on Silver. It was windy, which made for fast drifts. My boys and I fished the north and south ends of the lake and saw fish on both ends. Had a nice muskie (around 30") fallow out of a submerged tree along the shore. But he didn't chomp the black spinnerbait my son was tossing. We went down to the south end and I hooked up with a 39" that was very healthy. After a great fight and a quick pic, she swam off strong. This one nailed one of those Bladedancer's from Berkley in black. It is interesting to note that this fish was a female and she had eggs in her. I took a picture of the eggs that leaked out of her to show the warmwater fish program manager. I know tiger muskies are sterile, but it doesn't mean females can't develop and absorb eggs. I don't think this has been recorded anywhere else in Washington, has it? Interesting anyways. Sorry, the pic is from a camera phone again. We went back to north end of the lake and had 1 more follow by the buoys in front of Ruby's. This time on a swimbait in perch. Please release your muskies, and good fishing.
