Henson Lake is a reservoir in North Carolina, near Guilford County.
Henson Lake is a reservoir in Guilford County, and on a first trip I would start around one short piece of water and stay there until I see enough in the first hour. I would keep the opening plan simple around one sheltered section of bank and leave it alone until I get a clear read from the first setup.
A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Henson Lake, so I would not guess at them until a dependable agency source confirms the number and would work one straightforward section of bank until I get a clear read from the opening stretch.
For anglers, the useful species information for Henson Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, so I would start with one primary species around one promising shoreline stretch and let it run until I learn something from the first area. Bass anglers on Henson Lake can start with a shallow crankbait or spinnerbait around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch, then switch to a worm or jig when I learn something from the first adjustment.
I would approach Henson Lake by choosing one nearby section of water, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make the simplest change first after I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. If I find a repeatable bite in the first setup, I would stop searching randomly and fish one short section of water properly on Henson Lake. If I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch, I would make a note of what happened around one sheltered section of water and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Henson Lake.
