So we made our first ice-trip to Henry's. Wow. A truly amazing place. We lucked out with the weather, The conditions were perfect, The Ice is 12"+, hard clear Ice, The scenery is unreal.. With no real plan intact.. we took our first turn left according to google and drove around to the other side of the lake which seemed to be private subdivisions mostly, so after 15 min of driving and not knowing if there was public access that way?? I turned around and headed back to the Highway.. First turn was State Boat Ramp.. We headed on in and found it surprisingly quiet. Decided to set up 200 yards out from the ramp.. Only about 5.5 fow. Crystal clear water.
Now On to the fishing[bobhappy]
Started slow.. Watching the finder and jigging,, then I started marking a few.. The jigging was bringing them in, Finally, a real soft bite, hookset, fish-on. My first fish Ice Fishing from Henry's!! A beautiful 18" female cut. I kept jigging them in and caught and released 3 more dandy cuts Fri Afternoon.
On to Saturday Morning..
A real slow Morning. Just one fish. Lots and Lots of Power Auguring around. 11:30am, Had to do something,, So I just walked 200 yards away from the crowd. Much quieter,, This is Trout Fishing!, Only 3.5 fow.... I think the move paid off. Landed a Dandy Cutbow to cap off an amazing trip.. The female Cut was full of eggs,, The Hybrids are sterile so no eggs or sperm i'm guessing?, I'm not sure if my hybrid was male of female but It was toothy, cutting up my fingers like a steel head and leaving me half soaked after landing it!! i think I landed 8 total and lost a real nice runner who just took off! Can't wait to return
