Rain and Henderson

I am thinking about making the 1 1/2 hour drive to Henderson on Friday. Wondering how the recent rains have affected it. Can someone give me some information? I have only fished it once before. Thanks

Don't bother Tiger. Water is on the rise right now. Went last Saturday and water was messed up except for a few areas. Caught a few fish, but not as many as the week before. The rain had nothing to do with it. It's the snow melt from the north and the rain from up there too. The gates are open also. Maybe you may get some better information on here later. I am in the process of deciding where to go other than Henderson this week..

Thanks for the report, might save me a trip

I get myself confused when I read depth in posts. Are you talking water 2 1/2-3 foot deep or fish being at that depth?

Fishing that deep
