Henry's F&G Question

[MMDon]

I believe the lake has always gone through cycles like you mention with your sets of extenuating circumstances flygoddess.

I don't believe there is any way to manage Henry's into the perfect trophy trout fishery. It's never been that way and it still isn't today. Large fish seem to be the result of the perfect storm if you will. A combination of factors come together create a good 4th year cycle. Maybe even to create a good 4 year cycle several years in a row. Then, as fast as it came along it's gone again.

Can you add to many trout and undo what mother nature has been able to create every so often in the past? Probably.

Today's needs for Henry's isn't what it once was. You mention the growing fishing pressure and with that the revenues it generates. My belief is this will continue to create circumstances calling for more put and take on a grand scale.

It remains to be seen if a perfect storm of conditions can still exist under a heavy put and take management program that will allow for a few years of huge 4 year old hybrids.

Time will tell.
