This is a great fishing/sightseeing/shopping vacation. We are situated on Henry's Lake, Island Park, Idaho, one of the finest trophy still-water fisheries in North America. The home has a private marina one house away, with a boat launch and post tie-ups. Wild Rose Ranch, a boat rental company, is five minutes away.
Locals catch and release many trout a day using wet fly techniques from a boat or float tube. Waders are helpful for fishing from the shore in May, September, and October. Cool temperatures allow the fish to come closer to shore.
Because there are 3 streams feeding into the lake on either side of the home, paddling a float tube back and forth in front of the home at sunrise and sunset can provide a great yield of fish.
Henry's Lake has abundant populations of Cutthroat, Brook, Rainbow and trophy hybrid Cutbow (Cutthroat/Rainbow) trout.
The largest fish in Henry's Lake are the rainbow/cutthroat hybrids that tip the scales at 16 pounds. The state record for brook trout weighs in at 7.2 pounds and was caught in Henry’s Lake.
You can fish the nearby blue ribbon Madison River, Henry's Fork of the Snake River, Hebgen Lake, and Quake Lake within a 30 minute drive or less. Yellowstone Lak, in the Park, is 1.5 hrs. away, where there are no limits on delicious Lake trout, considered invasive.
