bsflies,
Thank you for the information about ice off, gill nets and flies. If I was able to fish Henry's as often as you do, I would probably skip the opener as well. There are a lot of anglers that get within casting range of where I'm fishing but at least they are all friendly.
Was the water stained last saturday?
Do you think the lake will be a little muddy/stained on Memorial Day weekend?
I'm sure the creeks enter the lake are runny high.[
]
This Memorial Day weekend I have to leave for a week long trip to Lake Powell. I'll only have enough time to fish Henry's for a few hours on opening morning this year. I'll try to get back up there and fish it a couple more times in mid or late June. The number of younger fish I caught/saw in Henry's last year was encouraging. I think Henry's will be better for the number of fish caught this year than it has for several years.[]
Sounds like there is a very good ratio of brook trout in Henry's. I must not doing something right as far as brook trout fishing goes. I haven't caught one out of there for 6 or 7 years. I must be fishing the wrong flies/lures, time of year and part of the lake.
Do you mind sharing which gill nets had higher concentrations of brook trout and hybrids?
Where there any 30"+ hybrids or 20"+ brook trout in the nets?
