Hard-fighting Hybrids on Henry’s Lake with Damon Keen

Episode 138 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – February 27, 2025 Our destination is the world-famous Henry’s Lake in eastern Idaho

Our destination is the world-famous Henry’s Lake in eastern Idaho, known for hard-fighting hybrids (Cutbows) the size of your leg, unpredictable windstorms, and breathtaking scenery.  With retired Idaho Fish & Game biologist and guide Damon Keen, with Eagle Ridge Ranch, Island Park, ID

Henry's Lake Idaho

Damon grew up in Idaho, eventually landing the coveted role of state biologist for Henry’s Lake with Fish and Game.  Today, we dive deep into the big questions like: Are there a million trout in Henry’s Lake? How do these fish grow so big so fast? And why won’t they eat dry flies?   Stories of sudden windstorms, near-death experiences, and legendary 100-fish days.
