Henry’s Lake, Idaho 10/14/2025 & 10/15/2025.

Three graybeard buddies wading south & north ends/bays of Henry's Lake two days mid-October. Dodging intermittent rain, sleet, snow showers with temps in the low 40's. Pretty much had the north end to ourselves, had 3-4 others within a few hundred yards on the south ends. Some really healthy Yellowstone Cutthroat (natives!!). Chunking streamers, e.g. "Pink Candy", olive/black "Woolly Buggers", McCune's Sculpins and maybe some other 'trash' streamers that I can't remember their names. My choice for those two days, especially due to the very clear water: Orvis 6wt 9' Helios D, WF floating line, 7' 3x tapered mono leader tied to 4x then 5x mono tippets. Had a few break off either due to being bigger fish, poor line management on my part (a frequent occurrence) or tangled up in the ubiquitous floating grass on these local lakes (Island Park Reservoir, Hebgen Lake, Henry's Lake). Pardon any errors in spelling or grammar. All fishy pics "1-2-3 ready? Quick outta water, pic n release. Barbless hooks 100%".
