Even though Henry's Lake is now closed I thought I would make a quick report on what I how I did last Saturday.
We had some delays and didn't get up to the lake until 1pm. It was a little cold out on the lake but not bad for the end of October. I checked the water temp several times and the surface temp was close to 45 F every time. Fishing for us was slow and I only caught one average sized cutthroat in the middle of the lake on a small jig tipped with a night crawler. I also had one fall off a spinner. There were a number of fish in the shallow water arround the State Park boat ramp. People were consistantly landing fish in this area but almost all of the fish that I saw landed were fowl hooked.[unsure]
Even though the catching wasn't very good I still had a good time.
A snow storm moved in around sundown and we were only going 30-40 MPH from Last Chance to St. Anthony.
