This season has been my most enjoyable fishing on Henrys Lake that I have ever had. Very few fishermen utilized the lake as there were only three of us that consistantly fished it. The fish during most of the summer were very large with many in the 8 to 15 pounds and caught throughout the season.
Now that the water has cooled, the fish are moving back into the area around the Hatchery, Targhee Creek and Staley Springs. Last Saturday I caught 12 fish in six hours with three of them over 24 inches. There are also a lot of fish between 8 to 12 inches for the first time in several years. This bodes well for the future. The best flies for us last weekend were the Light Olive Crystal, Mity Mouse and the California Leech. Some were also having good luck with black jigs and Canadian Brown leechs.
I will be guiding and fishing this Saturday again and will post a report next week. Good Luck.
