However, last weekend this did not occur.  I caught 4 fish using a Halloween leech stripping in very very slowly.  (A lot of the time you will catch the fish on the drop so pay attention to your line).  I caught one more fish on the trip with a very flashy zonker.  My cousin only caught one with a Christmas leech, once again pulling it in very very slowly.  Although this trip was not as successful as normal it was still fun and the fish were big and fought hard.  I will write this trip down as a success. 

NOTE:  Water levels are down about 5 feet and Island Park, ID area had a hot summer.

As far as spin rods go, I heard people doing really well with spinners and people seemed to be doing really well bait fishing as well.  My cousin has more information about Henry's Lake at http://www.piraflyfishing.com/fly-fishing-blog.html.
