Lake Burton/Lake Rabun Fishing
Fishing Report
Water temp 61
Level. Full
Clarity:slight stain
Walleye:
The Walleye are biting in full force. Most of the fish are still up the river and creek channel’s. We have had good success trolling Shad Raps (sr5) at 2 mph and night crawlers at 1 mph. Troll these baits over the deeper pools of water 6 to 12 ft deep. The night bite has been a little better than the day bite. Look for the Walleye to slowly start their migration back down the lakes over the next few weeks as the water warms.
Bass:
The water temperature is still a little cold for these fish. They are feeding good mid day as the sun warms the water a little. Look for pockets that get a lot of sun or red clay banks. The worm bite has turned on. Try using a water melon pumpkin color working it slowly off the banks. The jerk bait bite has also been producing some nice Large Mouth. Looks for these fish to start spawning over the next few weeks. The top water bite will be good thru the first of May.
Trout:
With the vast stocking of trout this year these fish are everywhere! Most of the younger trout are still in the creek and river channels ( less than 5 ft deep). Try using a small Duo Realis in the Herring color. This bait has been a trout magnet lately. The bigger Brown Trout are cruising the main lake channel close to the floating debris. We have been sight casting small Kastmaster spoons to these fish. The trout should hold on this pattern for the next few weeks.
Good Luck!
