Fish are in the shallows all around the lake and fishing is great. Most are cutthroat trying to spawn and just about any wet fly will work. Any easy access place such as the state park, Bill Fromm county park, the cliffs area, and the hatchery, anglers are almost ” shoulder to shoulder” trying to hook up. Using a boat or flotation devise gets you away from the crowds and the stories, believable and unbelievable. The catch and release season is on until general season opens.on the last Saturday of the May. So expect crowding and good fishing until warming water signals to fish it is time to move to more comfortable deeper water.

Th catch and release season is on at the lake. Access is limited, and weather is at least stormy. Places open, such as the hatchery access, tend to become populated with anglers wading and using flotation devices. Leech, Halloween variations and fly rod jigs patterns are among those being effective.

Freeze-up could happen any day now. Water temperature is in the low 40s in Deg. F., and days are getting colder. Cold, wind free nights will do the trick. After ice is thick enough, ice fishing gear will be the way to go. For now shallows around the lake are where to fish.

Good fishing continues any way you may choose: wading, slow trolling, or spot fishing from a boat. Concentrate efforts in shallow water. The State Park area and round the county boat dock will be crowded, and so will any location where fishing is good. This time of the season the amount of crowding depends a lot on the weather.

The recent foul weather has jump-started good fishing because the water has cooled significantly, aquatic weeds are breaking up, and fish are tending toward shallower water. Traditional Henry’s Lake patterns are producing especially through the use of Intermediate lines. The State Park and Fromm’s are crowed, winds can be brutal, and cold weather gear is in order. Consider trying wind-sheltered areas during these days of colder than normal weather and let’s hope that freeze-up does not happen as early as it did last year!
