{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Mountain Lake Trout Fishing

While in Montana a few weeks ago for work, we fished up at Georgetown lake for stocked bows and brookies. It took us most the week to figure out but a double nymph scud + damsel 5-6 feet under an indicator OR a chubby with a scud/damsel 3-5 feet below seemed to work really well. Only a few hits on the foam patterns but they were a lot more fun than staring at a bobber. 

Adult Damsels had just started to fly around and we were told we that we were a few weeks early for that season-so maybe that times up perfectly with your trip? When all else wasn't working, griffiths gnats, ants, and renegades would sometimes induce a strike when cast 15-20 feet ahead of a cruising fish and twitched ever so slightly across the top--as long as that fish didn't change direction and never see your fly.

Cam't say I know of any certain similarities between the two lakes, and GTOWN lake is about 5600 ft in elevation (and in an entirely different state) so may be a totally different ball game. Hope some of this is useful though. I wouldn't shy away from a quick phone call to one of the fly shops out there either.

Maybe a little dated; Dalton told me about this book here on the forum and sure enough it has something about the Wind River Range: http://bit.ly/29wPA7V
