Henry’s Lake is widely regarded among stillwater fishermen as the finest public trophy stillwater fishery in the Northern Rockies. Henry’s Lake is shallow and approximately 20 feet deep at its deepest areas. It is host to a plethora of rich aquatic insect life responsible for the rapid growth rate of resident fish. Due to the abundant fishing resources of this lake, it was used as a commercial fishery for the gold mines of Montana in the early 1900s. Famous for being the site of the Idaho state record for the largest brook trout, the giant fish was caught in 1978, weighing in at 7.2 pounds. Henry’s Lake has excellent populations of cutthroat, rainbow, and cut-bow trout. The cut-bows are by far the largest resident fish, tipping the scales up to 16 pounds and nearly 40 inches long.
Henry’s Lake Estate boasts a luxury log home with stunning lake and mountain views in addition to exceptional equestrian facilities. Situated in one of the most tranquil and trout-rich areas in the country, Henry’s Lake Estate is a recreational property that offers an unmatched setting, ideal for the seasonal or year-round resident.
