Henderson Springs is a private fishery
located in Big Bend off highway 299 East of Redding. It is 500 private acres of pure
Mother Nature and very fat trout. This remote and very private fishery is
one of the leading Stillwater fisheries in
the entire United States.
Featuring 4 lakes, one pond and a cool
spring creek all filled with very large trout. The fishing is extremely good. Everyone should catch at least one fish
over 22”. Float tubing is the deal and some of the fish are so large
that they can actually pull you around the lake. My largest was a 31” very fat
Rainbow. We usually have some dry fly action as well as the subsurface
action. Having two rods ready to go
is your best bet, the Cortland
444 intermediate camo line is the best line for
subsurface along with a dry line so you can change quickly as a hatch
appears. The old dry dropper can be
very effective as well.
Come and experience seeing a large torpedo
right on shore moving quickly towards your fly and then…KaaBoom! It hits your fly and the action is hot and
heavy with a successful landing of a very nice fish.
So, if you dare to try this cool place out,
call Nancy Siegler (530) 677-6034 and make your
reservation. We have room for 6 more
folks. Dates are October 14 -
17. Price is $280 per person per day
and that includes very nice lodging in a beautiful rustic lodge, gourmet
meals and all the fly-fishing you can handle.
