Georgetown Lake Fishing Report 2.9.25

Georgetown Lake is iced up and fishing hot—get out early, stay late, and don’t forget to check the ice..

This report is brought to you by Flint Creek Outdoors:

There is about 10 inches of ice by the pump house and 11-12 inches in the bays. Fishing before sunrise has been the best and right before sun down.
