Saturday at Henrys Lake

Went ice fishing at Henrys Lake again.  Twice in two days - But then it will have to satisfy me for two months before it opens again.  On January 1st, it will open for only one day and then will close until Memorial Day weekend.

I fished with my neighbors and we caught some nice fish.  Here is Jared with a big cutthroat.  His smile is bigger than the fish.


We were fishing off the mouth of Pittsburg Creek just east of the Hatchery.  The Hatchery area was loaded with people by 10 a.m.  The best fishing is usually about 7:30 to 8 in the mornings.  Jigs tipped with a piece of nightcrawler worked best for me.


A great way to spend a morning or day in the wilds of Idaho.

Hey Bill. That Cutt that Jared caught looks like it came pre-frozen. Looks a bit nippy up there in Idaho.

If Mother Nature doesn't give us another big hit of a storm I will be there Tuesday A.M. I would imagine that it would be packed as that is the last day for awhile to fish Henry's. Thanks as always, Bill.

I enjoy fishing, but not this bad. Never would I be out in the cold like that. Looks like it turned out a fun day for both of you.
