Just returned from Henrys Monday after 7 days at the state park. First trip I've made during the summer; I always go in late fall. Did not have access to a boat so we fished from the shore. One 3.5 to 4.0 lber (22") the first evening and then nothing but little guys from the shore. I won't go again in the summer w/o my own boat! Fall trips always provide 2-3 per day from shore so I was completely unprepared.
Winchester collector show in Cody over the weekend plus the Cody museum were a fantastic two-day sideline to our trip. The big Plains Indian Pow-Wow adjacent to the museum got TS'd out and we didn't stay for the reschedules. Fantastic costumes.
Storms rolled in ALL week and apparently drove the fish out to deeper water. No visable hatch in the evenings around the shore as in the fall so no action at all on our flies. Boaters were mostly doing well from our vantage point.
It was 39F Monday morning with more rain rolling in and a considerable wind. Probably 35F with the wind chill.
Beautiful Mountain Bluebirds, Summer Tanagers, Warblers plus a cow moose in the marsh. Overall a great trip... Just not a lot of fish for us!
