Henry's Lake

This high-elevation lake, nestled on the Idaho side of the Continental Divide, is renowned for its Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, as well as healthy populations of Brook Trout and their hybrid offspring, Cutbows. The lake's nutrient-rich waters contribute to rapid fish growth, resulting in abundant and sizable trout. When conditions are favorable, catch rates can be very high. The best fishing times are typically during the spring and fall. Because the lake is shallow, during the heat of the summer, the fish can be harder to catch. 

The early season, just after the ice recedes, and the cooler days of fall often provide exceptional fishing opportunities as the trout are actively feeding. While shoreline access offers ample opportunities, a boat can unlock access to different sections of the lake and become advantageous as fish disperse. As the summer progresses and water temperatures rise, understanding the trout's movement to deeper or cooler areas becomes crucial for consistent success. Our competent, experienced guides know where to find the fish. 

Beyond the rewarding fishing itself, the setting of Henry's Lake adds to its allure. Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, the experience of casting a fly line across the still waters, with the possibility of a large trout taking your offering, is truly captivating. In summary, Henry's Lake is a highly regarded fishing destination that offers anglers the opportunity to catch large, healthy trout in a beautiful setting.
