another great hit for the kids to hook up at Georgetown in the late spring early summer, is to use a small bobber, with light line about 3-4 feet below / a split-shot at 8-10 inches above a size 8-10 snell hook and a single salmon egg or a homemade egg-sack smaller than a marble! When my kids were younger I'd hook them up with this rig and they'd slaughter 'em! It really p'ed off the powerbaiters. and nymph fisherman who were hitting a fish an hour to watch a couple little kids come in a hook 8-10 fish each, in less than an hour.
Often times George Town is a sight and stalk Fly fishery.
If you don't see evidence (rollin' 'bows) of pods of fish 20-30 feet off shore ~ drive around until you do!
Other flies? Use a small drab or whitish thingamabobber as an Indicator and invest in some fluorocarbon 4x and 5x tippet - these fish have been casted at for the last month and the flouo will be the differance maker! Try some light orange egg patterns in 14-16, orange,bighorn and tan bead-headed scuds sz16-18 and small 12-14 san juans in red, maroon, purple, tan and orange worked great for the wife last year around this time. I use mostly small tungsten beads on my top flies eliminating the need for a split shot / I use the unweighted egg or scud to free float below that. usually 4-5 x from indicator to 1st fly and 5-6x for the final drop tied from the hook shank of the top fly.
I may see you up there! [

Good luck and get some Good Polaroid glasses so you have a better chance of seeing the fish.
