I've spent a lot of time at Silent Lake over the years. Used to be an excellent place to fish, but things have declined due to lack of catch and release. There are no pike in the lake. There are Lake Trout, smallmouth and largemouth, the latter being most in number. Look for sunken logs in deeper water and the big weedbed. There are not a whole lot of good places to fish from shore, you're better off renting a canoe. Good luck!

Hey Justin, great report. I'll be heading up to Rideau River Provincial park for some camping and plan to do some fishing while I'm there. Any suggestions as to where to start? I haven't fished the Rideau before so anything to help narrow down my search a little would be appreaciated.
