Henry's Lake

Jeff, I was there this morning. I fish over just past Staley Springs, I think it's called. 5 inches of ice. I was in 9 feet of water. It was immediate action on a chartreuse foxy jig tipped with a small 1/2" chunk of sucker meat. Because the trigger on my jaw jacket froze up it gave me time to drill two more holes and I got a chartreuse paddle bug with a chunk of sucker meat. And then a 3" white tube jig with sucker meat. And they were all catching fish. As soon as I would jig a pole it would get a bite. Then I'd try the next pole. They seemed to like short 2" jigs up and down better than dead sticking it. They were swallowing all the hooks down and within the hour I had to keep two nice three pound Cutts that I just didn't want to cut the line on. I never had time to sit down the whole hour, one bite after another.
They are hungry. Only caught one brook trout 14 inches.
