I have never fished specifically for silvers on Rufus but have caught a few.  We got one around 3 pounds a couple years ago.  We caught them trolling double whammies with worm.  Ive heard guys using kokanee killers ( I think thats what they are called.  They look like a wedding ring)  along the bouey line above the dam.

I used to catch them up there.  Its been several years but if I remember it usually gets good just above the damn in the early spring.  We used wedding rings and white corn or trolled a small pink fly that my dad ties up with a chaser hook.

I know that they can get pretty big.  We got one that was probably 3-4 pounds.  Most have been in the 12-15 inch range if i remember right.  We have never targeted silvers up there, just ran into a few trolling for rainbows.  If you run a double whammy with night crawler and about 1/4 ounce weight i can all but gaurantee fish.  We usually fish the non tribal side along the weedlines, probably 60-70 yards off shore.  But like I said we are generally targeting triploids.

If you catch a silver in Rufus, please post a pic.  They're virtually gone there imo.  For years, it was one of the best kept secrets and under-fished silver fisheries around.  Many well over 18".  Nowdays, NOBODY I know catches them.

Not I personally but talked to my dad on the phone yesterday.  They have been doing some fish and fowl trips in the last couple weeks.  Catching some nice ones on fly.
