Lake Burton/ Lake Rabun Fishing Report Water temp:81deg Clarity: slightly stained Level: full pool Brown Trout: The big Brown Trout are concentrated on the lower stretches of the lake. Most of these fish are holding on a 40 to 50 ft bottom. We have had some large fish lately with 2 being over 8lbs. Most of the fish we have caught have been trolling crank baits in the 20 to 30 ft depths. Try using a small Rapala ( Sr5 or 7 natural color) or a Lucky craft size 78 Pointer bright color. Speed is the key to catching these fish. One day they like it slow (2.3mph) and the next day they seem to want the baits fast (3.3 mph ). Alternate speeds with slow turns. This pattern should continue over the next couple of weeks. Bass: The Large Mouth bite has been fairly decent. Most of the fish we are catching are in 16 to 18 ft of water in the creek pockets ( near grass or brush). Try using a Bream colored bait or a pumpkin Finesse worm Texas rigged. Yellow Perch: The Yellow Perch have finally set up in the grass flats in the backs of creeks and pockets. I rely heavily on my electronics for locating Yellow Perch. They hold very tight to the bottom but are in great numbers. The last few days we have had good success using a chartreuse Jiffy Jig. Bounce the jig slowly up and down off the bottom in the 18 to 20 ft depth. Where there is one Perch there are many! This pattern should be effective for the next few weeks. Good luck Capt. Wes Carlton
