Henderson Lake is a lake in San Juan County, Washington and covers about 3.46 acres.

Fish listed for Henderson Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near the downwind side with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a low-light period near a narrow cove where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a quick scouting pass near a protected point before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the start of a weather change near an open-water edge where food is present, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a shallow-to-deep search near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a return to the best bank near the mouth of a pocket after warm rain, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a short evening pass near the downwind side in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
