I am headed up to fish off the bank tomorrow and Thursday when I get back I will post an ice report . Curt G.

Come on Curt! The suspence is killing me. What did you find up there today?

curt69 · « **Reply #31 on:** Nov 11, 2011, 03:41 AM »

I was there Wednesday . All of the boat ramps are froze over , and the finger from the main lake all the way to the dam is froze . If we don't get a big wind storm I think we will be ice fishing it by the 19 or 20 of November . We found one spot where we could fish from the bank and kept 2 Cutthroughts that were 4 pounds and 1 Rainbow that was 3 pounds . Curt G. P.S. Thursday morning it was -1 degree .

I am just guessing but it looks to be a good mile from County boat dock to Stalyes . I bought me an old used snowmachine so I don't have to walk it . Curt G.

Is there anyone I can call to get an ice report for henrys?

jaklakmak · « **Reply #34 on:** Nov 14, 2011, 07:56 PM »

Its froze all the way over but still too dangerously thin to even try to get on.

Thx

Last year we fished the outlet because it always freezes before any other part of the lake. You might try the outlet this weekend. It could have 4-5 inches of ice if these temps keep it up but I would definately take a spud bar and test your way out onto the ice. You might see me up there doing the same. I drive a white Ford F-250.

Anyone brave the elements and go to Henry's today? If so how was it?

curt69 · « **Reply #40 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 06:16 PM »

I fished Friday and Saturday . I fished the outlet Friday and landed 30 fish . 8" of ice , fished State Boat Dock Saturday landed 10 . 4" of ice . The biggest was 19 1/2 " Brookie and 20 " Cuttrought . Curt G.

jaklakmak · « **Reply #41 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 07:24 PM »

Cool deal Curt! I answered my own question by going up today. We fish just to the south of the fish hatchery and landed 21 in 2 hours. We were wanting to fish the outlet but was not sure about the access to it. How did you get to the outlet?

curt69 · « **Reply #42 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 07:41 PM »

I got there Friday off Redrock Road , when I went back Saturday the snowplow had pushed a 3' wall of snow into the road so thats why I went to the State Park on Saturday . I just barely made it in the snow is getting deep on that road . Next time I am taking my snowmachine , unload at county and fish Staley's . That will be next Tuesday a week from now . Curt G.

I was using 1/8 and 1/16 oz jigs tipped with mealworms and night crawlers and caught a few on just a night crawler and a yellow marshmallow.

I caught most of my fish on a hole nightcrawler and a kernal of corn . Curt G.

How is the parking? Thinking about heading there Saturday. Did you try the "Popper"?

RD

curt69 · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 25, 2011, 10:58 AM »

Yes I did try the popper . I had it trip 20 and only hooked 2 fish . I think the rods I was useing are to limp to get a good hook set . When I was there at State boat dock . There were only 3 trucks in the parking lot . But this weekend will be alot different because the word is out about the good fishing . Curt

rjd007 · « **Reply #49 on:** Nov 26, 2011, 08:29 AM »

You need a stiff one that is for sure

I usually get about 95% hook set with them but I float it off the bottom. I use a slip sinker, the smallest spiltshot on the bottom for depth adjustment. Have not tried supending them so see how that works. Thinking about heading that way on Sunday if I can generate interest form the crew.

curt69 · « **Reply #50 on:** Nov 26, 2011, 10:03 AM »

Good Luck , If I was off I would meet you up there . I am going up Tuesday so post a report so I will have some new information . Curt G.

what is the popper?

curt69 · « **Reply #52 on:** Nov 26, 2011, 01:02 PM »

If you go to the Cabelas web sight look in ice fishing section . They call it the Automatic Fisherman . We are building the same thing only out of PVC . It is a rod holder that you can preload the rod so when a fish bites the rod snaps up and sets the hook . Curt G.

Just a few from Saturdays action!

Brentster7189 · « **Reply #55 on:** Nov 28, 2011, 04:50 PM »

Nice. So is anyone driving from the west part of the state over to Henry's to fish, or is it mostly eastern folks fishing up there?

HooknHunter · « **Reply #56 on:** Nov 28, 2011, 08:53 PM »

I'm going Thursday-Saturday of next week. I know of a few who go over, but not many. My son got a 21" Brookie last year. Beautiful fish. Worth the drive if you are willing to pay for a place to stay for a few days.

sledmanwinder · « **Reply #57 on:** Nov 29, 2011, 10:38 PM »

how thick is the ice in areas on henrys lake let me know please

jaklakmak · « **Reply #58 on:** Nov 29, 2011, 10:50 PM »

It was anywhere from 3 inches to about 10 inches. I finished up the day on ice that was 10 inches thick Sunday.

curt69 · « **Reply #59 on:** Nov 30, 2011, 09:25 AM »

The ice is safe ,people are riding snowmachines all over the lake . The spot I fished last week had 4" of ice and yesterday it had 9" . Fishing is great for fish up to 19" . I couldn't find any bigger ones . The fish bite was good off and on all day ,from 9AM to 4PM .Curt G.
