Fish species in Henning Lakes

Henning Lakes is a lake in Grant County, Washington and covers about 7.66 acres.

The small size of Henning Lakes makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Henning Lakes include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.

During a low-light period near the outside weed line after a cold night, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During a cool spring morning near an open-water edge with a slow lure, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a calm morning near a quiet corner while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat near visible bait, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.

How to Read the Water

During the first hour near a clean gravel patch under flat light, 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.

Season by Season

While using a simple look at cover and depth near a shallow shelf with a moving bait, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a slow shoreline pass near a channel bend while the water is falling, 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 return to the best bank near a rocky edge where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
