Anyone out there know how deep Burraston's pond is? Also what really works good out there? Keep in mind this trip we'll be shore bound.

Burrastons is fairly shallow, the deepest is around 15 foot. powerbait, worms, jakes, most of the standard trout baits work there, there are also gills in there. last saturday i caught a 16" brown or brookie out of there on a gold jakes with red dots. The best parts that i found to fish are by the bridge and were the road is blocked off by the rocks, these are the deepest parts.

It's been many a year since I've been there. We used to stop is the very shallow (1-2 feet) areas on our way in, and catch some shrimp in the moss. They are/were fairly big there for fresh water shrimp. You can fit one or two on a size 20 hook. Float that under a bubble and you can't go wrong. Judge the distance to hang them just above or in a pocket in the moss. The ponds as I remember are only about 10 feet deep at the most. The trout are willing to take about anything as long as they aren't close to shore. They get a little bite shy when they have been pressured and can see you. I've done well there on light spinners too. Blue fox, mepps, and martins. The fish are smaller. I don't remember catching any over a pound, but you can catch them pretty fast on a good day.

I never really tried powerbait or worms, so I don't know how they would work, but I can't imagine them doing poorly.

Good luck.

Burrastons gets stocked regularly and with some biguns sometimes.Jakes lures red dots always gets them to bite.I think the next time they will stock it will be the week before memorial day.
