Staley Springs is not a secret. It is located in the Northwest side of the lake. North of the county boat dock and South west of Wildrose. It easily identifiable by the the wire that is stretched across the channel. It is illegal to fish on the inside of the "wire." The problem with Staley's is that the channel is extremely narrow. There is only room for one or maybe two boats to cast into the channel if you are flyfishing. The old timers line up there early in the morning and when I say early I mean like 4 in the morning to get that spot. Then they sit on it like their life depended on it. Don't get to close or you will get a "warning" fly in the face on the backcast.
The Staley Springs area is complex. I would recommend Bill Schiess' book Fishing Henry's Lake. His book has an excellent section on Staleys with sketches of the area and the holes.
Staleys is one of the most pressured areas of the lake. Keep doing your research and have a couple other holes that you can go to if Staley's doesn't produce.
Good Luck
