Again, we do not have much information on the lake except that fishing is beginning to pick up at a few spots. Cooler weather will bring fish towards shallow water, but we need a good unsettled downturn or two to do so.

We have not heard much about fishing here. But what we have heard indicates that fishing success seems fair at best. Cooler weather with stormy periods should help.

This cool weather has help action pick up all around the lake. Leech patterns seem most effective. Black or olive leech patterns are working. So are Halloweens and California leeches. Present all these using intermediate lines.

The east side creek mouths are producing brook trout. Try small olive or black leech patterns. Get out in the lake and present these on an intermediate line back towards the confluence.

We have some reports that using small leech patterns presented on an intermediate line is interesting smaller fish on Henry’s Lake. Try the creek mouths (Targhee, Hope, Duck, etc). Get to these locations as early as possible, and as usual, expect company to move in.

Spotty fishing at best. Black leeches presented near bottom seem to work. We have heard more about the recent winds that whip the surface into near impossible conditions. Let’s hope that winds calm down and that a remnant of the once famed damsel fly emergence improves the fishing.

Action has slowed. Looks like fish have dispersed throughout the lake. Olive, peacock, or black leech patterns seem to work.
Henry’s Lake 6-4-19
Fishing activity has slowed considerably since the fabulous opening day. Maybe with unsettled weather predicted for the end of the week it will pick up. Who knows!

Pintail Point at Henrys Lake now open to public through F&G’s Access Yes! program
Pintail Point, a piece of private property along Henrys Lake, has enrolled in Idaho Fish and Games’ Access Yes! program. Access Yes! is a program designed to improve access to private land or through private land to public land by compensating willing landowners who provide access. The Pintail Point property was enrolled by the owners for a five year period and grants public access to 296 yards of lakeshore.
No boat launch is available at the site, but it is a popular spot for anglers to hop into a float tube. No fires or overnight camping are allowed and vehicles are restricted to existing roads.
Landowner notification is not required on the Pintail Point property but Fish and Game asks users to be respectful and keep the area free from garbage and vandalism. Respecting these parcels of private land will help to ensure future use by the public and open up additional access opportunities elsewhere.

Ice has been off the lake for about a week, and the flow out of the lake has been at least double of normal for about a month. This suggests that a good fishing season is coming up for the river through the Nature Conservancy’s Flat Ranch Preserve.
