I'm not familiar too much with fishing Henry's Fork, but a friend of mine had some luck yesterday and I want to give it a shot. The regs say that from the "Del Rio Bridge upstream to the Vernon Bridge" I can keep 2 16" + trout. Where are these bridges? I live in IF so I'm not too familiar with the north fork. Also, any help with bait would be great.
Thanks.

I think the Del Rio Bridge is just north of St. Anthony . On the old hyway . To get to Vernon Bridge you turn west in Ashton between the forest service building and the A&W .

Barry is correct on page 39 there is a very good map of that part of the river . Vernon Bridge is one bridge south of the one straight west of Ashton .

I think maybe the OP just assumed that the overview map on p35 is the only map and never looked at p39.

You are correct the map on 39 makes it easy to understand the boundrys . I have not fished above Chester Dam to Ashton Dam . I have fished around the Fun Farm a lot .

We pulled in 2 small brookies. 10"ers at best. But you know the saying "a bad day fishing beats a good day working."

I think the fish in the picture is a Brown trout , not a brookie .

I'd never caught a brown before (being new to this area) so you're probably right.
