Hybrids at Henrys Lake

After three weeks of busy Saturdays, I finally got one off and headed to Henrys Lake for some early morning fishing.  Some fish were rising in the Staley Springs area, so I stayed there.  My first fish was a very large hybrid.


Not ten minutes later I got another hybrid, just a little smaller.  No measurements or weight - just great battles and released to fight again.



Pictures are hard to take while battling fish by yourself.  But what a joy it is to hook and wrestle them.

Four cutthroats were also caught, before I headed to help a neighbor get a load of firewood.  Just another wild day in Idaho.

Hi Bill. Yup, sounds like California too. Well, the California that's not in the city. I actually spent yesterday morning being one with the log splitter. Putting next years wood out to cure.

Beautiful Hybrids, Bill! I envy you getting the time to chase some of big guys on the lake. Look forward to all of your reports.

must have been hard to take clear photos of the fish you caught while they were still in the water.
