Henry’s Lake 10-11-2011

Fish are hitting just about everywhere in shallow waters around  lake.  The days of speckled dun hatches are over, but a few caddis remain making peeking caddis patterns, about size 14, fished in shallow waters effective. But the best way to encounter fish is with the variety of effective woolly bugger, woolly worm types, soft hackled streamers, and fly rod jigs .  Choose your colors here just as you choose locations. Right now the north side of the lake has clearer waters than the south side,  thanks to recent storms. Water temps are still in the low 50s in degrees F.   That means extensive weeds remain.  As waters drop in temperature these will break up further making for better retrieves.  As good as the lake is now, look for better fishing as we cool off further.
