I make on and off trips up there with one seven dayer in September. Going to try to make Opener this year.
I only fly fish, but I use my Pontoon boat. I have been fishing the lake for about 12 years now and it is very technical.
Last year was a very easy year to catch fish. Not like the past years, but I also didn't see any HUGE fish this last year. BIG fish, don't get me wrong with my best at 30", but there were only a few reports of that.
For Henry's you will need an Intermediate line and either a TYPE II or TYPE III wet cell sinking line and a "SIX" weight outfit at least.
Flies, BS Flies are what I use and they always work. Mity Mouse, Purple Showgirl, Hot Chocolate, Electric Black, and Lynn Scott has a Halloween Softhackle that was the ticket last year.
Also the usual NYMPHS work killer like Haresears, and Prince Nymphs.
