Fishing Georgetown Lake in November

Home of giant Brookies gorging on spawning Kokanee eggs. Fished the
north shore where the under water springs keep the ice from forming for
ten feet from shore. Thousands of Kokanee swarm in the shallow (one to
three feet deep) open water with Brook trout cruise through looking for
eggs for supper. These Brookies are HUGE! Five pounders are not uncommon.
Local hunter/gatherer (Firewood) Downtown Gary Brown showed us how to
"egg up" and flip the split shot and egg patterns out, wait, then
slooowly drag and bump the egg along the gravel lake bottom.

All of the above takes place with the temps in the high twenties and the
wind screaming off of the lake. Great fun!

I'd rather go fly fishing.

So would I, but it was a bitch keeping the ice clear from the 50' long
slot cut in the ice.
Think of it as nymphing.
