Blackfoot River Outfitters's Tip of the Week
1. Target the fish subsurface. Not much top water action going on. 2. Try a balanced leech by itself or with a hares ear under an indicator. 3. Cover water and be methodical and you'll catch fish!

5-Day Outlook as of 3/15/24
Get your ice shacks and ice fishing rods out! Georgetown has finally fully iced over. With the warmer weather expect there to be a good amount of slush on top of the ice. The pump house area has about 12 inches of good ice and the bays have about 14. The ice by the pump house is starting to thin with the springs. Please be careful! Stop by the shop for the latest report and for everything you need for your trip. We're open 7a-4p Thursday - Monday! Tight lines!
