Fish are moving to shallow water, but fishing has been a bit spotty in some places. Right now best shallow water fishing on the lake is around the State Park where there are plenty of places to wade. Leech patterns in fall colors on intermediate lines result in the best chances for action.
If you can bear the weather, Henry’s Lake is producing some great fishing. Almost anywhere in shallow water and along creek mouths, your favorite leech patterns will get action. Use intermediate lines for shallow water presentations and dress warmly. Beware of the wind if you plan to get out on the lake. Consider fishing sheltered areas and be ready to act if wind directions change.
Continued unsettled weather is in the forecast, and this bodes well for fishing the lake. Best fishing will be in shallower water where your favorite leech and streamer patterns will be effective. Dress warmly and consider the winds before you venture out onto the lake.
The unsettled weather we are now in is just the ticket for bringing fish into shallows in big numbers! Your favorite leech pattern, scud patterns and streamers will bring success, especially if presented on an intermediate line.
Fishing is really picking up here. This includes along shorelines. Intermediate lines are the ticket, whether you are on the shoreline or in a boat. Taking patterns include your favorite leech pattern, halloweens, mity mouse, Henry’s Lake renegade, Henry’s Lake nymph, Carey specials, etc. Look for fishing to be best during periods of the famed Henry’s Lake weather!
Fish are beginning to move into shallow water, so shoreline fishing is just beginning. Cooler weather like today will help bring it on. When it begins in earnest, any small leech pattern will be effective, and intermediate lines will be the best choice
Fishing has been a bit slow, and wind the last few days has made the lake a bit unpleasant. We have heard of some action along the cliffs and creek mouths for those using scud and small leech patterns.
Fish are pretty much scattered around the lake. Cool weather is coming meaning they will tend to move to shorelines as we cool down. Some action has been going on in front of the cliffs at the southwest corner for those using small leech patterns and scuds.
Weather like we had the last two days is just the ticket for improved action. Cool, stormy weather will bring fish to the shorelines. Until that happens creek mouths and spring holes with your favorite small leech patterns is as good as anything for action.
We are beginning to cool off, so look for action to pick up in other places than creek mouths. It will take a while for fish to move in big numbers into and cruise shorelines, but we have reports of a few doing so.
