Weather - 10 Fishermen -1. Opening Day on Henrys Lake is a crap-shoot at best and this year the weather beat the heck out of the fishermen. Most fishermen became campers as the rain, snow and wind kept many off the water. Campgrounds were full, but the lake had only a few boats on it. Bank fishermen seemed to do the best by casting lures and a few flies like the Red Naked Lady, Beadhead Electric Black and the Mity Mouse.
Monday I made it up, but did not make it on the water due to the wind. So I did a little bank casting flies to the few fish that were next to the shore. I did manage to catch a few. Here a nice cutthroad is landed that fell victom to the Red Naked Lady.
On the way home, I captured this mature Bald eagle who had been feeding on a road-killed elk just east of Henrys Lake.
He should have been out fishing, but the road-kill was easier to get and closer to cover as the rain started once again. Just another wild day in Idaho.

Hi Bill. Good sized Cutt even though the day was crappy. Puts a damper on the unofficial start of summer.

Hi Bill - I knew I could count on you to give us all a Henrys Lake opening day report! Glad to see that even though you didn't get out in the boat, you still were able to land a few of the treasures of Henrys Lake. Really like the Eagle shot, too!
Great pictures! Thanks.
