No change in fishing success since our last report. Looks like we need warmer water and weather. Maybe some damsel flies being active soon will help, but for now find some submerged springs and sink a midge pupa around it for a bit of action.

Fishing remains slow. Water temps are in the 50s in deg. F, water is mostly clear, with weed growth beginning. A few fish are being caught around submerged springs through using midge pupa patterns suspended under indicators. Better days are ahead!

General season begins tomorrow, so expect plenty of fishing company and watch for the infamous Henry’s Lake opening weekend weather. The catch and release season, ending today, produced good fishing for some folks and lesser fishing success for others. Fish might soon be moving deeper waters as we warm up. But leach, scud, snail and small streamer patterns presented on intermediate lines and midge pupa and snail patterns under an indicator should remain effective for a while.

Ice is off the lake, but very cold water has slowed fishing success during this catch and release season. Lots of folks fishing from boats or wading where the lake is accessible near the hatchery, county boat dock, cliffs, state park and other points. Best to try shallow water which is first to warm and encourage aquatic food forms to become active.

That big cuttbow hybrid, 36 inches, the lady landed is a new state catch and release record. Congrats to her and for proving that very large trout are still in the lake. Beware of toxins being released by algae, and consider washing hands with clean water after contacting lake water. Better consistent fishing success is ahead after any unsettled weather comes our way.
