FISHING IN FAIRFAX COUNTY VIRGINIA, LAKE BURKE IN BURKE VIRGINIA IS A WONDERFUL "FISHING HOLE".

POPULAR FRESH WATER FISHING AT LAKE BURKE. With about 220 acres of lake at Lake Burke, there is room for all. There is a type of fish for just about everyone in Lake Burke ranging from Largemouth Bass, Muskie, Walleye, Channel Catfish, Bluegill and Crappie. Lesser known White Perch, Yellow Perch, the huge Redear Sunfish and an Blue Catfish can be caught.

Anglers can fish the many miles of shore or rent a boat and take to the water where the deep water can be reached. Deeper and colder water are where you're more likely to find Muskie and Walleye. Of course, in the hot summer of Fairfax County, don't be surprised if the Largemouth Bass have "gone deep" to water with cooler temperatures and more oxygen. Experienced fishermen know. Of course, the early morning is still good for shore and close in boat fishing.

Privately owned boats with electric motors are permitted on the lake. No gasoline powered water-craft are permitted. Nominal fees are required for boat rentals, camping, carousel, train and other activities. No swimming please.

In the early spring, the Crappie will school and can be caught in abundance and a more delicious fish is not found in this area.

With miles of shoreline, anglers can take their time and work the edges for lovely feisty Bluegill. My little "Black Gnat" fly produced about a dozen Bluegill this week in about 1/2 hour of fishing. What could be more fun?
