Georgetown Lake is one of Montana's premier blue ribbon fisheries, offering exceptional angling opportunities throughout most of the year. Located about 13 miles west of Anaconda and 8 miles south of Philipsburg in southwestern Montana, this 2,088-acre reservoir sits at a high elevation of 6,337 feet in the picturesque setting north of the Anaconda-Pintlar Wilderness. With an average depth of just 16 feet, the lake is relatively shallow, with a weedy bottom providing excellent habitat for aquatic insects, freshwater shrimp, and other food sources that sustain healthy fish populations. The fertile waters combined with generous stocking programs and careful management have made Georgetown Lake one of Montana's most productive and popular fishing destinations.
