I fished Henry's Lake for my second time yesterday and had another fun time. I didn't make it up until 3:00 or so and the fishing wasn't nearly as hot. I started out at the county boat ramp and fished there for a few hours. I accidently snagged two, then caught two the right way. I had a few more missed hits as well. There were still quite a few fish stacked in there but a man I talked to that had been there all week said they really started moving out yesterday.
I decided next I would go check out the South Shore. The water was pretty choppy when I got there and I couldn't see much at all. I threw out and didn't get much so I switched back to my other fly. A few minutes later I caught three little hybrids (5" long) which was pretty funny. I wasn't expecting to catch anything little. The wind died down and I could see through the water again and saw a few cutts stacked up. They wouldn't take my leech so I tied on an egg pattern and caught one. I missed another nice one (24" or so) because I got a little anxious and set the hook too fast. Overall it was a really fun time even though the fishing was slower. I may be back again next weekend. I just really love Henry's Lake.
