Lake Burton Fishing/ July Report

> Lake Burton Fishing Report
>>>> Level. Full pool
>>>> Clarity: clear
>>>> Temp: 79 deg
>>>> Brown Trout:
>>>> The Brown Trout are starting to migrate towards the south portions of
>>>> Lake Burton. Most of these fish are hanging on a 30 to 40 ft bottom
>>>> near
>>>> the main lake channels. We have been catching some real quality fish
>>>> the
>>>> last few days trolling. A few fish have tipped the scales at 9 lbs.
>>>> Spoons
>>>> seem to be the bait of choice second to Blue- Backs right now. We have
>>>> been
>>>> trolling silver and green Crocodile spoons at 3 mph at a depth of
>>>> 20ft.
>>>> Be
>>>> sure to make lots of sharp turns. Look for these fish to slowly
>>>> migrate
>>>> further south in the next few weeks as the water temperature rises
>>>> toward
>>>> the low 80 deg mark.
>>>> Bass:
>>>> Most of the Bass have spawned now and have pulled out over deeper
>>>> water.
>>>> Most of these fish are holding tight to a 25 to 32ft bottom. There
>>>> have
>>>> been days when the bite is tough and days where we can catch them on
>>>> plain
>>>> hooks. Deep diving white crank baits have been working well
>>>> ( Strike King xd 10). (Super Fish) jigs tipped with a white fluke
>>>> have
>>>> been working the best. This is a small blade lure that should be
>>>> worked
>>>> close to the bottom. It seems to bring the fish up. Once there up
>>>> feeding
>>>> they will keep aggressively biting. There is a little top water
>>>> action
>>>> mid
>>>> morning/ mid-day. Be sure to keep a spook bait tied on or a jerk bait
>>>> for
>>>> quick access. Look for these bass to remain in these depths for the
>>>> next
>>>> few weeks. The bite pattern will become more predictable ( early to
>>>> mid
>>>> morning and late afternoon).
>>>>
>>>> Good luck!
