Georgetown Lake Fishing Report

Tip of the Week Georgetown is fishing extremely well right now! There are lots of bugs on the water and the fish are looking up. Throw your flies right on the edge of weed beds or above them and drop offs. Skating your dry around is a great way to attract fish since all the bugs are constantly moving around. Look for consistent rising fish in the mornings and the evenings.

***Open third Saturday in May through March 31, except for the South and East shoreline area which is only open July 1 through March 31. South and East shoreline areas described as follows: all waters from the shore or within 100 yards of shore in the area extending from a point 200 yards west of Lakeside at Georgetown Marina (along the shore, including all of Stuart Mill Bay)***

7 Day Outlook The weather at Georgetown this weekend will be loaded with sunshine and highs in the 70s. Looking later in the week the temps will continue to be in the 70s and may reach the 80s.

Best Techniques Dry fly season on G-Town has arrived. Damsels, Caddis, Sedge and Callibaties are on the menu at different times of the day. Mornings and evenings with Caddis, Sedge and Callibates are a great option. Throw a Purple Haze, Goddard Caddis or a Film Critic.  In the afternoon Damsels are your best option.Running a balanced leech or a scud pattern under a bobber will also attract some fish and allow the lake chop to provide all the action. Stripping a wooly bugger, damsel nymph or small jig streamer is another option if the fish aren’t looking up.
