Silverwood is a crap hole in my opinion. Live 25 minutes from it and don't fish it anymore. Too many dumb wanna be gangsters take their family affairs there and trash the place. The stocked trout are fairly easy to catch on powerbait in any cove, but the striper fishing has never worked out much for me.
Colorado river, further but clean, scenic and fish possibilities all over the place.
A few friends and I went on a overnighter last year and had a blast thumping on some cats.
