Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Henderson Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Fishing Techniques
- For Yellow perch
When perch are finicky, downsize your bait or lure and use lighter line to increase your chances of getting a bite. Focus on areas near weed beds or drop-offs as they often hold schools of perch.
- For Brook trout
Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
