Lake Burton Fishing Report
Water Temp: 72
Clarity: slight stain
Level: Full Pool
Brown Trout:
The Brown Trout fishing has been on fire the last couple of days. We are catching some really big fish. A few of the bigger fish have been tipping the scales at 8 lbs. Try trolling Shad Raps in bright colors at 80ft behind the boat. Trolling speed has not been a big issue lately. Most of these fish have moved out over the main lake channels or close by. A few smaller fish are still up in the creeks. This bite should continue to get better as the fish become more concentrated as we head towards late June.
Bass:
The Large Mouth and Spotted Bass bite has been the best I have seen in several years. We are catching between 30 and as many as 50 in a single fishing trip. Jerk baits and Crank baits have been the dominate baits with Spot Stickers tipped with Pumpkin Finesse worms working well! Most of the fish are sitting on a 16 to 20ft bottom in and around major lake points. The Pop R bite has been working well in the mornings for some really nice Large Mouth. Look for these fish to start feeding on top in the next few weeks. Keep a Sammy in herring color tied on for these surfacing bass.
Good luck!
