Heading to Burke lake in the morning. any tips??
« on: March 22, 2012, 04:41:46 PM »
I am heading down to Burke lake in the morning. Never fished there and was wondering if any of you had any tips on catching the trout. Thanks

I talked to the guys at Hooked on Toy's in Wenatchee last Sat, and they said over in Burke and Quincy use a white marshmallow and pink power egg. They knocked em dead in a couple of hours. Good luck  Tell us how you do.

I will be in my boat. Think trolling flyes, wedding rings, or spoons would work?

Well it was a nice day on the water Friday. Lots of people bank fishing, 5 boats and 6 people on inflatable pontoons. We ended up with a total of 32 trout. We only kept a few of the bigger fish. The biggest fish was only 13in. Lots of them around 10-12. Just about everything we pulled behind the boat worked. Flies were the ticket though.  One guy we talked to got a 20 incher on a fly rod. Thanks for the info guys.

Sounds like a great day!  :tup: All rainbows?  :dunno: I have been wanting a tiger trout ever since they started planting them.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Sounds like a good day on the water  :tup: I'll be headed over there in a few weeks. Did you fish any of the other lakes over there or just burke?

Bass & Muskeys will start to wake up soon in Evergreen. Use to be a good crappie lake.
