You can make it as complicated as you want to, but there’s nothing wrong with fishing right off of the shore or a dock.

Walmart in Clayton consistently offers a good variety of lures, rods and reels.

Live bait is available at either the Anchorage Boat Dock or LaPrades directly on the Lake.

If you are not too concerned about the challenge of the sport and want to offer the kids some fun (and have something special for dinner), there is always Andy’s Trout Farm in Dillard Georgia.

Georgia Lake Fishing does a pretty good job of keeping up with who is catching what and where.

We are also told that, if you are willing to excerpt yourself enough, there is bountiful trout fishing available in the streams north of and surrounding the Lake.

Anglers, 16 – 64 years of age are required to have a current Georgia fishing license in their possession while fishing. Anglers who are 65 years of age or older may fish with the Senior (65+) Lifetime License.

Vacation at Lake Burton, rent our lake house, get acquainted or reacquainted with fishing and its special union with the great outdoors!
