I went fishing on Henrys Lake Monday and today (Wednesday) and had two great days of fishing. Monday I went by myself looking for fish and found three pockets of them. The water temperature is at 54 degrees, cold for the fish to bunch up, but found some scattered groups. I never report numbers or size of fish while I am alone, but had a great time.
Today I fished with two neighbors, Josh and Jeff, and we trolled flies in water about 19 feet deep. We caught in Hybrid Hole #1 and #2. Here is Josh with a 20 inch brook trout.
Those holes slowed down, so we went out to the Middle Hole and the "L" Hole where the fishing got really fast and hot. We caught a total of 30 fish, most of them small two-year old cutts, but got another 20 inch brook trout. Here is Jeff with a nice cutthroat.
The lightning and storms drove us off the lake about 11:30 a.m. But we had a great time chasing wild fish in the wilds of Idaho.

How come I always see smiling faces and big fish in your pictures and stories?
For your readers, Bill knows Henrys Lake as well as any angler anywhere. Henrys Lake is a mecca for big fish. Keep reading this blog and you will soon learn a lot from Bill. Better yet, buy his book, so you can begin to build your strategy for fishing Henrys Lake.
Thanks, Bill, for all your posts and photos.
Is there a limit you are allowed to fish?
Sounds like you had some fun! Beautiful fish in that lake.
Bill.
Its always a better day when your catching instead of just fishing.
Great catch of the day, Bill.
My husband has been just fishing and not catching the last few days :(
That means no fish for supper!
