Henry's Lake
This week has been a hot week for big fish on Henry's. There has been 11 fish over 10 pounds caught this week. Bill caught and released on Monday 1 fish over 10 pounds. On Tuesday and Wednesday with a client caught and released 2 fish 14 pounds and 2 fish 12 pounds. He said that on Wednesday out in the middle caught and broke off one pushing 20 pounds. The total numbers of fish being caught are still up and doing well.
Best places to fly fish are Duck Creek, County Boat dock and Stayley Springs. The best flies are the Mity Mouse, Light Olive Crystal, California and the Hot Chocolate. Use the black and brown flies in the morning and then later in the morning and early afternoon switch to the greens. Bill has a new fly out that has been picking up fish. It's hot of the press and so hot I haven't even seen it. He told me about it today. We will have some in the shop soon. Stay tuned for the rest of the story as they say.
The damsels are starting to move a little and we are seeing more and more activity. The hotter days should bring this hatch around nicely. With the huge fish being caught look for the damsel hatch this year to be funnnnn.!!
Both Bill and I believe the record fish is in Henry's this year. The big fish being caught are just simply huge and a lot of them. Most people this year have been very pleased with the Lake .
Sheridan Lake
Sheridan Lake continues to fish well. As the weather warmed up the fish were a little slow to hit the fly. We still are averaging 20 to 30 fish days. The bigger fish have hidden more this week. The average right now being caught is about 3 to 4 pounds. The big ones have gone deep and we are seeing fewer being caught. We are seeing the damsels start to move so look for the big ones to get more active. We have seen some Callibaetis and Midge hatches. We are picking up some fish on top as well as down deep.
The hot flies are the Purple Showgirl and the Kolob. We have been catching some with the Electric Black, BH Electric Black, Midge patterns and blood worm patterns. With the damsels starting to move we have been picking up fish on the Lt. Olive, and AH patterns.
We will have the shop opening this week. We have had a little trouble working out schedules and such. We do have some folks ready to get going and should have some hours that will help get you what you need when you stop. If anyone ever needs anything in the way of fly tying materials, lines, equipment or flies. We stock most anything you might need when it comes to fishing Henry's Lake or Sheridan .
