We will be heading up to strawberry on saturday to chase some kokanee just wondering if anyone else might be heading up?? The word is that they are staging and stacking up and they should be fun to catch... I got some insider info on where to go so I am going to go and give it a try. My boat will be leaving the marina around 8:00 am or so depend's on my 4 year old daughter, she has the final say on when we are leaving!! Let me know if any of you are going to be on the lake...my radio will be on 16.

I know a lot of us want to catch kokanee at Strawberry on a regular bases but have never been able to. Do you think the catching will be good now because the kokes are staging for the spawn? Jared, have you ever been able to catch the kokes at the Berry in the numbers you do at the Gorge?

i would love to, but ill be going after the elusive mule deer again this weekend. the next time ill be able to get my boat out will be between the archery and muzzleload hunts. i did go up to the berry a couple of weeks ago and managed to get three kokes along with a ton of cutts. the kokes were slightly red- but they still tasted great! good luck to whoever goes up. bkidder
oh yeah- jared, did you get my pm from like a week or two ago?

THEY ARE STACKED ON THE SLDGER CREEK SIDE OUT FROM THE DAM AND AT THE MOUTH OF THE CHANLE. IVE POUNDED THEM ON SHRIMP AT THIS TIME OF YR. I HAVE NOT EVER ATTEMPTED TROLLING THEM.

I have not had the luck at strawberry that I do have at Flaming Gorge ...but that being said I still manage to get 4-5 kokes every time we get serious about fishing for them at strawberry ..And with the staging going on we should have no problem getting more then that.

Would that be small tiger shrimp from the store? How do you fish it?? with a jig or just cast it out like fishing for cat fish?
