More Great fishing on Henry’s Lake in 2010. The West Yellowstone Island Park one stop shop for Trouphy Trout

Fishing has been awesome since the opener, however, the weather has been terrible…however, we’ve just had two days in a row where the weather has been wonderful and better yet, the fishing stayed great.

Henry’s Lake Season opener was poor weather
but great fishing. Brook trout came in by the
dozen, and fishing was great. Glimpses of sun came
in throughout the day, but the weather was
relentless.

Henry’s Lake Memorial Weekend Season
Opener Brook Trout are back

Due to a cancellation, we have one large room left available on the season opener. It has 6 beds and can sleep upto 12. If unavailable earlier, it’s now open. The water in the Lake is very high, the Yellowstone Cutthroats are filled in the creek spawning right now. We see a few Rainbow/Cutthroat mixes trying to join the fun (and fun it must be, if you watch the water in the harbor for 5 minutes you will witness a good 200 fish surface, doing back flips, you name it-they love this time of year and the opportunity to propagate) It’s amusing how excited the fish are. The pelicans are constantly right in the mouth of the creek eating as many trout as they can, which we try to chase them out as much as we can. But the minute we turn our back they’re back. Hoping for a great opener and good fishing season.

Although Henry’ s isn’t open until Memorial weekend, early comers can have good luck fishing just 10 minutes from the Wild Rose Resort at Hebgen Lake.  The Wild Rose is only 3 miles from the Montana border and several good fishing lakes.  Hebgen has been as of late fishing very well.  That’s a good sign for Henry’s Lake opener, but until that day comes, Hebgen might be the next best alternative.

Putting in boat docks as we had our first really nice day today. We put in half of our boat fleet and will hopefully be near our completion tomorrow. The marina was boiling all day long. The fish were jumping like crazy, it was a nice sight after all the bad weather. We kept the Pelicans out as much as possilbe. At one point I chased them out with a boat, one couldn’t even fly he’d eaten so many fish. I could’ve rammed him. Instead I did circles around him to see what he was doing. He puked up a couple fish, then was light enough to fly away. So I guess it’s true what you hear. They eat so many that they sometimes puke them out.
