We spent 2 very buggy hours last night to catch absolutely nothing but decided to come back this morning nice and early and after 20 minutes we got a bite on one of the lines and pulled in an amazing salmon that is a nice size.Then 40 mins later we got a bite on a different line and pulled in the fish in the second post. So after 4 hours fishing we had 2 salmon and a nice time on Georgetown Lake.
