Silcott Fork Lake provides warmwater fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and tiger musky. Bass fishing reaches its peak during spring and fall and some of the best fishing area is found in the upper portion of the lake. During other periods, most of the larger bass are taken by casting deep-running lures near the dam area. Bluegill fishing with crickets and worms is best during the spawning season, which runs through early summer.
