Ok since the cat is out of the bag I guess it is alright to report on Henrys. Went up on Thursday with one of my sons. Started out near the county boat dock fishing white paddle bugs. Caught six fish in quick order and then the masses showed up.
I don't have any problem with sharing an area with people other than people need to be smart and understand that if you are stomping around, drilling, smashing old holes etc... on crystal clear ice in four feet of water the fish will leave, and they did. One fish here and one fish there were caught but after about 9:30 it was over in that area.
Decided to head over to the hatchery. The ice was very difficult to get onto, but we found away and ended up fishing three inches of ice. Caught 4 fish between noon and one and then the midday slow down went into affect. I had to be back intown in the early evening so we decided to take off.
Over all it was a beautiful day on the lake. The ice was good and bad depending on where you went. I didn't see anyone go in and most people caught at least a couple fish.
I'm looking forward to trying some new areas at the end of next week.
