Reading the Silver Creek stocking table

Silver Creek is a creek in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. The state records in the table above list rainbow trout. Check the size column in the table for how big the fish were when released.

Rainbow trout respond to worms, salmon eggs or kernel corn, and small inline spinners cover water quickly. On moving water, cast upstream and let bait or a spinner swing through riffles and the tails of pools.

Other waters close by on our map include Manitowoc River, Silver Lake and Hartlaub Lake. Wisconsin DNR sets the season and limits here; check its rules before you go. Signed-in users can watch this water for an email when it is stocked again.
