Welcome Bug to the forum. Vet is right about learning the area well. Henderson is a vast area which means there is a lot to learn. Then there is the fact that the water level can rise and fall 10 feet and at each level the fishing changes along with changes in the different seasons. So as you see there are many many different conditions that you will be faced with but its not a reason not to fish but rather a reason to fish and learn. I've only fished Henderson a couple of times and have caught some nice fish even for someone who doesn't know much about the place. I think the best info I can give you is to fish as often as possible and to keep a log of every trip. In your log keep track of the date, time of day, the temperature, the weather, fish caught and on what, and most of all the water level. The water level can be gotten on-line or off of the Pelba gauge when you pass by it on the Interstate bridge. Learn to associate the fish caught at what water levels in what places. You can then look back at your log as the year progress to see what worked in the past at what level and at what time of year. That would be a serious approach, or you can just fish when you can and try many different spot and sooner of later you will catch some fish. It might not be a consistent but it will still be the best time of your life.
