Burton Yellow Perch: (This report courtesy of Fisheries Supervisor Anthony Rabern) — Two local anglers, Phil Black and Wesley Turpen, are no strangers to the quality yellow perch fishing in the mountain lakes of Northeast Georgia. The duo spent a beautiful fall day targeting yellow perch at Lake Burton, which proved very productive as both anglers landed fish worthy of an angler award. Live worms or minnows fished on the bottom, or small jigs are good bets for catching yellow perch.
Lake Burton Trout (Report courtesy of WRD Region Supervisor Anthony Rabern): Lake Burton is the only major reservoir in the state stocked with brown trout. The lake received just over 11,000 brown trout last week. Stocked browns will gain about 2 pounds per year over the next five or more years. The current lake record for brown trout is 11 lbs. 14 oz.
