A Simple Fishing Plan for Burnside Pit

On a first trip to Burnside Pit, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish Burnside Pit

Spring around Burnside Pit is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Burnside Pit can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
