Hey guys. We venture out to Hensley Lake today from 11 to 5. Oh my goodness it was really windy. Should have stayed home but brave through it. Arrived at the first spot and the wind was blowing directly at us around 20 mph or so. After an hour, we decided to go try the swim beach across from us so the wind doesn't hit us face on. This decision awarded us as we threw out our first rod, we both got slam pretty good. We both reel in our first trout of the day. It was roughly 15-16 inch around 1.5-2 lbs on green powerbait.
After about an hour at the spot, the dfg ranger came and checked out our documentation. After we moved to the left a bit. We continue to get a lot of action. Landed 12 but kept 7 and safely released 5. All were between 13-16 inch. It was very difficult to tell if the bite was there or not as the wind was really blowing. I can't believe I saw some small aluminum boat out there braving it. It looks like an ocean out there.
Bait used was powerbait with green and rainbow being effective.
