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.
