Blackfoot River Outfitters's Tip of the Week
Georgetown lake is finally open and fishable. Fishing with a damsel nymph or callibaetis nymph has been very effective. A black balanced leech and a chrionomid is another great method.

5-Day Outlook as of 7/21/24
Fish are deep and a little difficult to catch. They have been feeding on callibaetis drys during the day and also damsel dries. If you find rising fish cast right at them. The sedges have been out in the evening as well
