Fishing on Georgetown Lake has been good. Fish have been deep but are moving closer to shore and staging for the spawn. Nymphs under an indicator or slowly stripping leech patterns have been productive.
Here are a few tips for fly fishing Georgetown Lake:
1. Target the fish subsurface. Start closer to shore and as the day goes on move on to deeper water. 2. Try a leech with a chironomid under an indicator. 3. Cover water and be methodical and you'll catch fish!
Here are a few fly suggestions:
1. Black or olive Balanced Leech
2. Ice Cream Cone Head Chronomid
3. Olive Jig Mini Bugger
4. Olive balance leech
5. Callibaetis nymph
6. Sparkle minnow, sculpin, size 10
Looking ahead:
Georgetown Lake is settling into its fall fishing and is fishing well. Fishing morning and afternoon will be best.
