We have heard very little on fishing success at Henry’s Lake. Reading between the lines, we would hear success stories if fishing were good. Unusually warm water is a major reason for slow fishing here. . Nevertheless, if giving it a try comes about, try creek mouths and spring holes early in the AM and use standard patterns recommended for this time of the season.

Same story: fish creek mouths and spring holes. Get there at sunrise, fish till mid-day and expect company especially if you are catching fish. Opportunistic anglers will use binoculars to glass the lake and join your success. Again refer to Bill Schiess’s “Fishing Henry’s Lake” to find the best mid-summer patterns. .

With the lake warming up, it is time to begin fishing creek mouths and submerged springs. Springs are “where you find them.” Creek mouths such as Howard, Targhee, and Duck tend to become crowded, so the earlier the arrival, the better. Floating or sink tip lines are best depending on depth of presentation. The best patterns for doing so can be found in Bill Schiess’s informative book “Fishing Henry’s Lake.”

From what we have heard, opening weekend  featured good fishing.  Fish must be remaining in shallower water and so are easier to encounter. The lake is more than 100% full which a good condition for staying cooler longer. This suggests that good fishing should remain in the near future.
