Henry's Lake


May 7, 2024

Henry's Lake, located in Idaho, USA, is a premier fishing destination for anglers looking to catch trout. The lake is known for its abundance of Cutthroat, Rainbow, and Brook trout, making it a popular spot for fly fishing enthusiasts.

Aside from fishing, visitors to Henry's Lake can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing. The nearby Harriman State Park offers miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding, and the park is home to a variety of wildlife, including elk, moose, and bison.

When it comes to fishing, the best time to visit Henry's Lake is from late May through early September, when the water temperature is in the mid-60s to low 70s, and the fish are actively feeding. Anglers should focus on fishing the shallow waters near the shoreline in the early morning and late evening, and using patterns that mimic the local insect life, such as midges and mayflies.

In terms of fishing tips, anglers should consider using a sinking line to get their flies down to the deeper waters where the fish are feeding. Additionally, fishing with a team of flies, called a "hopper-dropper" rig, can be effective for targeting fish in both shallow and deep water.

Overall, Henry's Lake is a beautiful and productive fishing destination that offers anglers plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of trout species. With nearby activities and a prime fishing season, it's a great place to visit for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors.
