Rapjon has been known to have some good lmb in it, also some stud crappie. But I cant tell you if that is still the case. The meat fishermen can really devastate a lake that small. Cant speak for Silver, but if you drive a little farther to Alder, there are some true pigs in that lake.

I go out to Silver on a regular basis. The frog bite is really good there. Leave the launch go to the right all the way to the end. There is lots of old docks mixed with pad fields, etc. Throw a floating frog and 65lb braid on a stout rod that you can twitch and have fun. Mornings and evenings are the best not surprisingly. There are some really quality fish there. Keep a throw back bait like a weightless senko blue/black laminate at the ready.  Haven't spent a lot of time on rapjohn lately.

I grew up fishing rap John and surrounding puddle lakes. The water sets up great for frogging, but the best bass I've caught out of that lake was pitching black jigs around the outside edge of the pad lines. Also had success pitching tubes, and obviously weighted senkos.
