Georgetown Lake Fishing Report

Tip of the Week Georgetown is still a great place to fish this time of the year. Fishing has turned more to a subsurface technique due to the weather becoming colder up at G-Town. Look for fish on the edge of weed beds and cruising the sunnier spots in the mornings and 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 up at Georgetown this weekend is going to be cooler with the temps in the 50s and 60s with a chance of rain on Saturday. The rest of the week the temps will continue to be in the 50s and 60s with a mix of clouds and sunshine.

Best Techniques In the afternoons there is a chance a callibaetis dun, parachute hopper, or foam beetle will make a fish eat the dry. If they won’t eat the dry fly, switch to an indicator rig featuring a balanced leech or a scud, or strip a wooly bugger or small stream to get some fish to eat.
