Georgetown Lake Fishing Report

Tip of the Week With the cooler temps at Georgetown fishing at the warmest part of the day is your best bet. An indicator rig with a balanced leech or a scud under it is a great option.  If the lake goes glassy afterward, strip a balanced leech or small streamer along the shoreline.

***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 is going to have highs in the 60s on Saturday and then highs in the 50s on Sunday with a mix of clouds and sun. The rest of the week is going to have temps in the 50s with a mix of sun and clouds. Overnight lows will be in the 30s so fishing at the warmer part of the day will be your best bet.

Best Techniques Fishing is mostly subsurface now. Hang a balanced leech, scud, or chironomid under an indicator along the weed edges. Attractor nymphs like a Pheasant Tail, Hare's Ear, or Frenchie can also work. If the lake is calm, strip a balanced leech, Woolly Bugger, or small streamer.
