I am taking my nine year old son to Henry’s Lake over labor day weekend. He has never been and I haven’t been for several years. I am anxious that he have a great experience. I have been told that the stump hole and duck’s creek are good areas to fish shallow this time of year. We will be in a boat but are not set up to troll very well. I have a 90 horsepower outboard but no kicker motor. Any ideas of where or how to fish (flies, lures, colors, etc.) would be very helpful. Thanks! ---

I wish I could give some good advice but Henry’s lake always kicks my butt. However check out the Idaho board for some posts from a few weeks ago or send BSflies a PM or buy his book and it gives suggestions of what to use and where for this time of the year. Good luck and post a report when you get back. ---

Thanks. I posted on the Idaho board also. I will followup with your suggestions though. I appreciate your help and will report next week. ---

We had a great trip although the catching was a little slow. We caught 8 fish in 1 1/2 days fishing. However, my nine year old caught a 22" hybrid that I estimated close to six lbs. He is still pumped! ---

Here’s one the wife caught last Saturday at Henrys. 28" Caught on a Purple Showgirl and intermediate line. ---

Great picture. Wish I could figure that lake out and hook into one of those. Looks like you are fishing near the cliffs?.. Welcome to the board! ---

Nice fish. I was in that area for a little while and remember seeing a blue pontoon boat. Did you have consistent action over the weekend or just the occasional 8 to 9 lber?! ---

Castmaster-My brother and a guy that works for him have blue kickboats, the wife has a yellow Scadden Cardiac Canyon, and I have a red one. At Staleys it was consistent for fish over 20". She did land a 30" there. It would barely fit in the net. ---

EvilAsh Great to hear that you had consistent success. If you wouldn’t mind I would like to talk to you in a little more detail. I’m trying to arrange a trip (big people only) later in the month or in October. Just click on my name and you will find my email address. Looking forward to hearing from you. Castmaster
