Burns Pond, located conveniently within or very near Burns, Oregon, is a highly accessible community fishing spot. This managed pond primarily offers consistent "put-and-take" opportunities for rainbow trout, making it an excellent choice for families, novice anglers, and those seeking reliable catches close to town.

Rainbow trout are regularly stocked as legal-sized fish throughout the cooler spring and fall months, ensuring active fishing.

Fishing is typically most productive immediately following stocking events when water temperatures are favorable.

The angling methods at Burns Pond are straightforward and highly effective. Bait fishing with PowerBait, worms, or corn, either fished off the bottom or under a bobber, is a perennial favorite. Small inline spinners or tiny spoons are also very productive for active trout. Access to Burns Pond is excellent, providing ample bank access and often basic amenities, making it very family-friendly. Anglers should always consult the latest Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) regulations for bag limits, as these are in place to sustain this valuable community resource. Burns Pond offers a convenient, accessible, and reliably fun fishing experience for all.
