Please notice she was responding to MMDon's post and NOT YOURS! Wow this thread is too much...

I have not fished there for 50 years as you MMDon but in the past 10 years everything I have heard from there via Damon Keen, Bill Schiess, Lynn Scott who have probably more experience on that lake than anyone else contradicts your opinion. Maybe they are eating more minnows now possibly but I think I have only caught one fish ever there with one in it personally.

Kind of surprised this thread is not on lock down, mod's must be busy fishing I suspect.

You can pretty much always count on a thread being locked on here is the replies get above 50. Only exception is the photo game. I think it is just human nature to not be able to carry on a conversation on the internet for to long before someone says the wrong thing, some one takes something personal, or some one tries to prove another wrong. With out facial expressions or listening to the tone of some ones voice, many conversations on internet forums get taken the wrong way. It is part of the technology era we live in.

Just my 2 cents.

As far as Henry's goes, I have caught everything there with minnows, lures, and flies. Fish are opportunistic eaters. If they are hungry, they will eat what ever is around.

I don't understand why folks are getting defensive?
I'm just trying to give good info.
I have been very successful at henry's for several yrs and wouldn't even go there without having minnows or bullheads.

I was on the north shore behind wild rose sat morning with my wife and my nephew, we seemed to be the only ones catching anything and let me tell ya it was almost embarrassing. we caught and released somewhere around 35-40. We had a few folks come asking what we were doing different. we helped out one nice young lady by giving her some of our bait, she and her husband had been out there in the freezing cold and wind for a couple hours and had not caught anything. It made our day to see her almost immediately catch a very nice 3-4 pounder. she, her husband and kids went on to catch several nice fish.
that alone was worth the price of admission.

Feels great to help a family like that out! Thanks for sharing Michael. I like to hear about people doing what you did for others.

By the way, pretty fish!

Did you mostly just catch brookies? Or is that just what you kept?

I don't understand why people get defensive either. Every thread on Henry's ends this way. Nice fish and good info. Giving a struggling group a chance at fish is exactly what this is all about. I watched a gentleman fly fishing and doing quite well at the county dock a couple years ago. After hooking a particularly good fish, he handed the rod to a little guy and let him fight the fish and keep it. That kids family had just got off the lake and struggled all day, but because of that mans generosity, a fisherman was born.
