Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

Surf was up yesterday thanks to the high winds. White caps could be seen from surrounding roads. Conditions there today are likely similar. So be able to swim, bring your surf board and dress in a wet suit.  Surfing may be safer than fishing from a boat on days such as this!  Take weather into account when planning a trip to fish here.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

We have not heard much about fishing success other than moderate sized cutts make up the bulk of catches. We do know that as the weather cools off fishing will improve with larger fish moving around the lake. However, look out for windy weather that can whip the surface in near breakers.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

The lake is fishing fairly well for medium sized cutthroat trout responding to traditional Henry’s Lake patterns  (see Bill Schiess’s book “Fishing Henry’s Lake”). The water is still a bit warm, but with cooling weather the biggest fish will begin to leave the deepest water and move around the lake.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

Creek mouths and springs are the places to fish these dog days of summer. Most of what’s being caught are cutts in the 15-18 inch range. Traditional Henry’s Lake flies work best. If you do not have one, pick up one of Bill Schiess’s book “Fishing Henry’s Lake.” It has tips for where to fish and how to approach this time of year as well as traditional Henry’s Lake fly patterns. It is a treasure trove of Henry’s Lake fly-fishing information.

Same as the last report: Get to creek mouths and spring holes as early as possible. Use standard Henry’s Lake patterns with a slow retrieve of that intermediate line. If you start having success, expect company to surround you because a common Henry’s Lake practice is using binoculars to observe where fish are responding, then converge on that location to share the action.

There is some success to be found in water of  a moderate depth with small black or olive leech patterns. But now is the time to arrive early at creek mouths and springs to stake out your claim on water. The earlier the better because as the season advances and the lake warms, the more folks will be doing the same.  An intermediate line to present standard Henry’s Lake patterns at creek mouths will do the trick.

Still fishing very well for cutthroat trout in the 15-18″ range. Use an intermediate line to get down at moderate depths for presenting black, purple and olive leech patterns. Expect tough weather conditions the next few days as a windy cold front is coming in.

Fishing Reports, Henry's Lake

Fishing here has been nearly excellent with moderately sized (16-18″) cutthroat providing the bulk of action. Leech, fly rod jig, damsel fly nymph, and streamer patterns: all seem to bring action from moderate depths. Just about anywhere you can access the lake is suitable for enjoying the fun. Expect crowding at the State Park and the County Boat Dock with anglers of all types telling believable and unbelievable stories and coming and going.
