Lower Henry's Fork 9/12 - Belasko - 09-13-2010
Headed up just past St. Anthony yesterday afternoon to see how the fishing was. As expected it was good! First cast I had a light hit then saw a decent brown following my rapala in right to the shore before heading back to deeper water. 3 casts later I hook up on a decent brown that was in the 18-20 inch range. A few casts later I Hook up again! I managed to land 4 and lost 1 before it slowed. About a half hour later I snagged on bottom. I tried popping it loose with no luck. Then I moved upstream to try shifting the direction of pull. Just as I applied some extra pressure the line starts pulling back! FISH ON! This one really was ticked, and plenty big since I initially thought for sure it was a rock. After a few minutes I got it landed w/ the help of my fishing buddy. A very nice brown. Over the next couple hours I landed a few more and lost a few. 2 rainbows were landed that were right around the 20 inch range. The rest were all browns in similar size. Didn't have any luck w/ the fly rod though.

Those are some good looking browns. Water seemed incredibly low in town when we stopped at chiz's sat, May have to head up that way after class tomorrow

That looks great! Those browns are looking healthy. Is the river quite low? I see that there is exposed moss on some of the rocks behind you.

Great pictures. I really need to fish a river. I'm having a hard time getting out for the next couple of weeks.

The river wasn't really down any further than I'm used to seeing this time of year there, whether that helps or not I don't know [:p]. As for hatches there was a decent caddis hatch going on and fish were feeding on top further out than we could wade to be able to cast to where they were a lot of the time. Although my buddy did get several hits from smaller fish closer in just downstream of me.

Were you North or South of St Anthony? I have fished a lot in town and not had a lot of success. You can PM if you want.
