Lake Burton/ Lake Rabun
Fishing Report
Water Temp 51deg
Clarity: clear
Level: Burton down 6ft
Lake Rabun: full pool
Brown Trout:
The mass of the Brown Trout population are still holding in the creek channels. We have been trolling night crawlers 1mph on free lines the last couple of days and producing some really nice fish. Try targeting the 16 to 25 ft depths. These fish should hold this pattern for the next few weeks if the water temperatures don’t rise rapidly.
Bass:
The Spotted bass bite is unreal! These fish are really aggressive right now and will eat just about anything from a jerk bait to a plastic worm. Most of the Spots we are catching have been shallow
(5 to 8 ft). The Spotted Bass should be spawning spawning over the next few weeks. Look for these fish to stay shallow The Large Mouth bite has really picked up also. We have been catching most of the LM on Jerk baits in a bream color. Fish these lures close to the banks around fallen trees or over rock outcroppings. Look for these fish to gorge themselves before the spawn.
Walleye
The Walleye spawn is in full force. Most of the population are up the creek and river channels. Trying to catch spawning Walleye can be a little tough so try target the pre spawn or post spawn fish by moving down the river/ creek channels a few hundred yards. These fish are biting a Shad Rap ( American Shad ) trolled or casted around the rocks. Work this bait very slow as Walleye are not aggressive like other species of fish. We have caught a few bigger fish on a white jerk bait
( Spro- Mc Stick). The next few weeks should be the best of the year for catching Walleye in Georgia! Hopefully we will see some lucky angler break the State Record this year!
