Tibblefork is primarily fished from the shore. I can cast a Jakes almost halfway across it. Fly fishermen usually stick to the river inlets.
Silver Lake Flat Reservoir is not open yet to wheeled traffic (the road is closed at the Tibblefork parkinglot -- snowmobiles from there up still). Fishing there is very spotty as the reservoir is almost completely drained every year -- last year in particular.
Silver Lake Flat pretty place to go... if you catch a decent fish it's a bonus.
I've eaten a few fish from Tibblefork this winter. They taste just fine.
I have heard they get a little mossy-tasting in the summer, but I can't confirm that with personal experience.
