Where are the fish
The dog days of summer might try to keep you from hitting your favorite fishing spots, but during this time some of your best fishing opportunities are available across north Georgia.
Georgia’s only reservoir trout fishery, Lake Burton, which provides excellent fishing opportunities for both brown and rainbow trout is supported by winter water. The cold water habitat grows some of the biggest trout in Georgia, including an 11lb 2oz lake record brown trout caught in 2004 and a new 5lb 8oz lake record rainbow trout caught this summer. Summer trout will be deep, taking full advantage of the winter water below the thermocline. Lake Burton trout are best targeted using live blueback herring, shiners, and night crawlers or trolling spoons and plugs in 30 to 60 feet of water.
