So I am an avid fisherman of all sorts. I currently am living in Utah, but am mostly from Canada and Washington State. Well I am headed to Rexburg the weekend of August 4th, and will be taking out my brother and sister-in-laws out fishing. I LOVE to fish, and would do so daily if I could. If any of you understand this situation, my in-laws respect my love for fishing, but think I'm a little on the extreme side, as they can't see what's so fun about fishing. They've never really caught anything before. So they suggested that I come up and take them fishing to see what it's all about. Well I would LOVE to hit up the South Fork or the Henry's Fork with my fly rod, but I'm not about to teach these beginners to enjoy fishing, while on a big river with a fly rod. They need something simpler, that will produce results. I have an inflatable canoe and that's it.
It is crucial that this fishing trip be successful. Mainly to show my in-laws the joys of fishing, so that hopefully we can plan more vacations with them that are close to water. =)
I was planning on going to Henry's Lake, but have read some threads here that say the fishing is slow. Is this true???
Does anyone have any suggestions of where I could take them fishing in the Rexburg area? The most important aspect of a beginner is that they catch fish. They don't have to be all that big, just that they catch them. I would like to get them into some trout, but ANY game fish is fine, as long as we can catch them.
What do you recommend? We are willing to drive anywhwere within about an hour radius of Rexburg.
Please help a fellow fisherman brotha out in this critical situation.
Maybe a recommended lake/river, where you fish it, and what you are catching them on. I don't plan on fishing one bit, just being the guide of them. All fish will be released, it's my policy, so don't think your info will take fish out of your favorite holes.

Thanks a ton!!!
