Burt Lake is a lake in Copper River, Alaska and covers about 5.5 acres and reaches about 36.1 feet.
The small size of Burt Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

At Burt Lake, for arctic grayling, use a small dry fly, nymph, spinner, or spoon near moving water and surface insects.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself at Burt Lake.
When fishing Burt Lake, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
On Burt Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
Around Burt Lake, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
