Alright then silverwood is a go!!
Time isnt decided yet
Think you can make it Mat?

also going in threw the gate is only for people that want to park in the parking lot I fish where you dont have to pay for parking and less of a paddle/peddle to where we will be going

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

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.

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.
