I hit Henry's Lake from 4:00 p.m. until about 8:30 p.m. today. This was probably my 4th trip up there and had yet to catch a fish!!! I first hit the county boat dock and was AMAZED at the number and size of fish just cruising everywhere! I literally seen hundreds of fish swimming around!
Fish and Game did close fishing on the boat docks now, so that kind of sucks. It especially sucks when there are a bunch of people fishing there and nowhere to fish. It doesn't give you many places to fish.
I was using black leeches and the "wild rose special" and not getting any hits. I decided to move to the hatchery and try my luck there. (That is where the people at wild rose told me to go.) I fished there for a while and had no hits.
After that I headed back to county boat dock. There were even more fish cruising around then! They were EVERYWHERE! Big ones and small ones. I finally had 2 or 3 hits on my leeches but I couldn't land any of them. One of them was pretty big.
I switched over to my spin reel and threw on a panther martin. I had a few hits and got 2 fish on but still couldn't land a fish! I finally got nailed and landed a beautiful 20" male cutthroat!! (Picture is attached!)
Overall, fishing was slow and I really didn't see many fish caught until about the last 30-45 minutes and then I seen a couple of big ones caught and a couple of small ones.
It is really nice scenery up there! Check out my picture!
