Your secret is safe with me. What is the best trout honey hole to fly to in Idaho.

Henry's Lake used to be. I'm not sure of the current status, however. It is/was a premium fly-fishing destination if that is what you are looking for. Also tends to be somewhat seasonly dependent so check conditions before you go.

Henry's Lake has a good Calabeatis hatch in the spring at ice out. Monster dry fly for monster fish. You can walk to the lake shore from the airstrip and fish but not necessarily the most picturesque camping on the strip. Gonna fly Idaho next week and lookin at other options but Henry's Lake is on the list.

I've heard that Cayuse is good but I've never been there. I like Upper Loon and this time of year anywhere along the middle fork is good. Cabin Creek is on the top of my list to try, I'd go to Vines if I could.

Vines is nice if you are light and capable. Its a bit rougher there this year than you'd expect, though. Cayuse is of course legendary if you care to walk a bit for it.

Barnstormer nice talking with you streamside. I went on to catch a bunch there at the flying B on streamers. Kind of the same at other spots on the middle fork. Headed back into Montana and fished the Ruby out of Twin Bridges and caught alot of big fish on hoppers. Fortunately left early the next am and then later that day 90 mph winds took out a hangar at the airport. Had a great time in Idaho and MT. Caught alot of fish flying around. Truely fly fishing
