[pudge]

does anyone have info on lake henry? a friend of a friend who works for the dnr said they pulled some pretty nice walleyes/perch out of there quite recently. never been there. hoping for some feedback.

I fished Henry (by Lake Thompson) early ice last year. Caught quite a few 14in. walleyes. Never did catch any perch though. I have heard they have been catching some walleyes this year there, but don't know what size.

what about the Henry outside of Madison? i think that was the one he was talking about.

I think you mean Lake Herman West of Madison 2 miles?

There is a henry slough right out side of the town of henry, 30 minutes from Sioux Falls. They only catch perch out of there but they are big. They dont catch a lot but when you catch one it is 12-14in. Lake Henry by Desmit has some good walleye action, but nothing like back in the day. When henry froze over it killed everything. It is on the way back but the Eyes are 14-16in or smaller, ocassionally a big one, but the perch are having trouble reproducing. the northern action is good and that is what is hurting the perch.

I'd like to know how you can make it to Henry (the town) from Sioux Falls in 30 minutes.

Hehe.

Must have an airplane.

You are referring to Henry WPA, which is south of Winfred, SD (west of Madison). The perch, when caught, are real nice, but I have to emphasize when they're caught. Lately, its been pretty slow. History this season so far is they have been light biters. Cameras have proven to be a valuable tool on Henry.
