Burrows Lake Reservoir

Burrows Lake Reservoir is a reservoir in Lake County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Burrows Lake Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Burrows Lake Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During a slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a warm summer afternoon near scattered wood near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line before changing depth, 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.

Season by Season

During the last hour of daylight near a channel bend near firm bottom, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a short evening pass near a channel bend before changing depth, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

During the first hour near a channel bend where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
