Lake Burton Fishing Report – November 2021

Burton: Level: Full pool. Temp: 64 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Bass: Capt. Wes Carlton reports, “The bass bite has been good the last few days. The fish are up shallow and hitting topwater really good mid morning. Spooks, Sammys and Heddon Torpedoes have been working great. We have been targeting main-lake points and bank lines in the 6- to 10-foot depths. Sebille swimbaits have also produced a few larger fish. This bite should continue for the next few weeks and get even better.”

Trout: Capt. Wes Carlton reports, “The brown trout bite has been a little slow the last week or so. The fish we have caught have been surfacing near floating debris on the main lake channel. Casting small spoons like a Kastmaster has been effective. Work these spoons vigorously back to the boat. The annual brown trout spawn is upon us. Most of the bigger females will travel up the creeks and the river to spawn in a week or so. Look for this bite to pick up after the spawn and the topwater brown trout bite to pick up.”
