Henry's Lake Fishing Outlook 2006
As reported by Idaho Department of Fish & Game
Henry's Lake
"A creel survey for 2005 showed catch rates were near the long term average
at about 0.5 fish per hour, and an average size of 16 inches for cutthroat
and 20 inches for hybrids. There was an exceptional number of large fish
caught, with an estimated 1,200 fish over eight pounds landed throughout the
season.

All indications are that 2006 should be an outstanding season as well. The
lake is full for the first time in five years, and the oxygen levels under
the ice were high throughout this past winter. The strong 2 and 3 year old
cutthroats from last year will make good 3 and 4 year old age class during
2006, meaning numerous cutthroats in the 16 - 18 inch range. Henry's should
offer an excellent opportunity to catch a hybrid over five pounds. Because
brook trout stocking resumed in 2002, we will also see numerous 3 and 4 year
old brook trout represented during the 2006 season."

I have already seen several 12 and 13 pound hybrids come in off the lake as
well as a 4/11 and 6 pound brookie. Looks like it will be a great year on
Henry's Lake.
