Georgetown Lake Fishing Report

Tip of the Week Georgetown is a great place to escape from the heat and find some cooler water. Fish those drop offs and the edge of weed beds. Keep an eye out for terrestrials as the afternoon heat will make those bugs move. Look for shaded water later in the day as those fish will want to avoid the high sun in the afternoon. 

***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 up at Georgetown will have highs in the 70s and 80s with lots of sunshine. Looking into the week, temps will start off in the 80s and then will start to cool off later in the week with highs in the 60s.

Best Techniques In the mornings, casting a single callibaetis, parachute hopper, or foam beetle along the weed beds to find fish looking up. A two-fly indicator rig with a balanced leech and a scud is a great option as well right now. Strip a damselfly nymph on an intermediate sinking line over the drop-offs if you can’t get a fish to eat.
