Burraston Ponds
Rating - Fair
Saturday, Dec 17 2022
Fishing forecast (December through February): Burraston Ponds catch rates overall tend to slow considerably in the winter. The smaller ponds at the north end of the main pond typically freeze in December. If it's cold enough, the main pond will almost completely freeze over. However, ice thickness seldom exceeds 3 inches near the springs, making it extremely unsafe in these areas.The DWR stocked 1,500 10- to 12-inch rainbow trout on Nov. 1, and we think these trout will continue to provide anglers with fair to good fishing this winter. We recommend using glitter garlic-scented trout dough bait fished 2 feet off the bottom. Anglers ice fishing should have success vertically jigging ice fishing flies or jigs tipped with worm off the bottom.Cold water temperatures (below 45 degrees Fahrenheit) slow fish metabolism rates considerably. This means fish feed infrequently/sporadically and are quite sluggish, making them less likely to move quickly to eat a lure, fly or bait. Lures and streamers can still be effective, however. We recommend targeting deeper water and using a slow retrieve. The DWR's spring trout stocking efforts typically begin late February to early March.
