Brook Trout on Henrys Lake

Two of my sons-in-law and my grandson joined me for a great day on Henrys Lake.  We caught one hybrid, seven cutthroats and 15 brook trout for a great day.  Most of the fish were taken in 20 feet of water on a #4 Light Olive and Black Woolly Bugger.

Here a son-in-law shows off a large brook trout taken in the Wild Rose Hybrid Hole.

Just the first day of a three-day fishing experience.

Henrys Lake Fishing #1 - 2011

Yesterday, Friday, I took my boat to Henrys Lake to park it for the season.  Grandkids are coming tomorrow from Utah and want to fish a lot, so I had to find the fish.  I found a few fish off the County Boat Dock and Staley Springs.  I caught six in about one and a half hours.  Three were brook trout, one a hybrid and two were small cutthroats.  The brook trout are still large and will get larger.

There is plenty of snow on Sawtelle to melt and the lake is 104% full.  We will have plenty of water this year.

With at least three days of fishing next week, we should have some good reports.
