Our Report
BEST TECHNIQUES:Fly fishing is an excellent way to enjoy Georgetown Lake. Try slowly stripping a leech, baitfish, calibaetis and damselfly nymphs through different parts of the water column. Emerging midge patterns are taking fish too.
OUR TIPS OF THE WEEK: The rainbows are spawning. Try to let them do their thing if you can. There will be some fish that have spawned and dropped back a little deeper. Go for those fish, they’re hot and heavy!
7 DAY OUTLOOK: Weather is looking good over the next week. Weather is looking good over the next week. Calibaetis should be along any time!.
