Henrys Lake again

Yesterday I got some calls that businesses were running out of flies and my book, so about 4 p.m. I took some up to Ashton and Island Park.

Of course I took my fly rod and flies so I could fish for a couple of hours before it got dark.  Only caught four fish - but one was a big hybrid at Duck Creek and one was a 22 inch brook trout at Howard Creek.


It had stormed the day before and the water was still murky, so I used the Gold Glimmer fly and it was successful, but slow fishing.  Henrys Lake should really get good around Howard Creek in the next two to three weeks - if you can miss the storms and muddy water.

Thanks, Bill, for the tips and great advice on fishing Henrys. Those are a couple of beautiful fish for just a short time on the water.

Fantastic looking trout. I could go a lifetime and never catch a trout that big on the fly. Nice looking pics.

Wow, fantastic, I wish I could have some fishing experience. Though it is difficult here in Singapore, no place for fishing, not much time left after work too.

Wow, that was a big catch, Bill! We went out fishing for trout last month but no luck at all. Wish we could catch a trout that big.

Have a great weekend.
